FORTRESS of NIGHTMARES

Admission:
$10.00

The Fort Adams Trust presents the Fortress of Nightmares during the last two weekends in October.   Starting at 7:00pm, historic Fort Adams will unleash the restless spirits of its past on special haunted tours.  Guides will lead the way through spooky areas of the Fort not usually seen on regular tours, and you will hear the eerie, bizarre, and macabre tales of the Fort’s long history and legend from the resident “spirits” themselves!

Meet the laborers who built the Fort…the soldiers and families who lived there…learn the secrets hidden within the Fort’s ancient walls. 

Unlike many haunted attractions Fortress, is based upon the legends and folklore that surround Fort Adams and in the creepy atmosphere of Fort Adams After dark.

Tours are weather dependant and sturdy footwear is required

 'Fortress of Nightmares' is not recommended for children under 12

Sponsor Opportunities are available.

Interested in becoming part of this year's Fortress of Nightmares?

Call (401) 841-0707 to find out about volunteer opportunities.

 Sunday, October 26th is the last day for guided tours. . .
