NEWPORT, R.I. – It’s been almost 10 years since the Fort Adams Trust took a real comprehensive look at the future use of the historic Third System fort. Since then, areas like the North Casements and officers’ barracks have been restored, but much of the structure is crumbling.
On Monday, Nov. 16, Eric Hertfelder, executive director of the Fort Adams Trust, will give an inside look at the steps the trust is taking to preserve the fort as it enters its third century. (See below for a slideshow of some of the rarely-seen areas of the fort.)
The presentation is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Program Room of the Newport Public Library. It’s being sponsored by The Alliance for a Livable Newport, a grassroots community organization dedicated to improving the quality of life in Newport. Admission is free.
