GROUP OVERNIGHT
INFORMATION
Overnights at Fort Adams are seasonal,
available from early April to November.
The Overnight Barracks at Historic Fort Adams provide
groups both
youths and adults alike
with a one of a kind 19th century overnight experience!
The first restoration project in the Officers Quarters, our Overnight Barracks includes four modern bathrooms, a common room with a kitchen area, oak tables and benches and a mid-nineteenth century wood burning stove, as well as, three bunk rooms containing a total of 38 bunk spaces.
Most of the overnight facility has been finished in plain style
to look like an Army barracks, while the chaperones quarters
restoration was done with great effort made to maintain its
original Greek revival Architecture.

All the new electrical, plumbing, and telecommunications services were brought into the Fort in a way that will allow for future growth of these systems when additional sections of the Officers Quarters are renovated.
The project,
completed in 2008, was funded by:
The Open Space and Recreation Bond Issue,
Capital Grants from the Department of Environmental Management,
and The Champlin Foundations.
