Commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War with the Fort Adams Trust. Events begin at 10 a.m. on both days and include re-enactors carrying out dramatic simulations of assaults on Fort Adams, as well as re-creations of the daily life of soldiers and civilians during the 1860s. Throughout the day soldiers and civilians in authentic 19th century uniforms and dress will invite the public to spend a day in their life, and to learn about everything from military tactics to cooking and family life during the Civil War.
Guided tours of the Fort’s underground listening tunnels will be running every half hour from 10am-4pm both days at a rate of $2 for youths and $4 for adults. Water shuttles from downtown and ample parking is available at Fort Adams State Park.
