Trust Staff & Board

The Fort Adams Trust

Fort Adams Trust is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization founded in 1994 to partner with the State to manage and operate the Fort while seeking and earning revenue to support renovation and preservation efforts. Despite significant restoration efforts over the past 30 years, currently 80% of the Fort remains inaccessible to the public and is in a state of disrepair. The Fort Adams Trust carries out our mission through programming such as daily tours, private & group tours, group overnights, site rentals and special events. Without the Trust, Fort Adams would remain closed to the public.

In summer of 2024, the Fort Adams Trust revised our strategic plan where we realigned our mission to preserve and revitalize historic Fort Adams for the public’s benefit. Our vision is to be a valued, open, accessible historic destination that anchors our community. Our goal is to historically restore and open the whole Fort for the public. Part of our goals include enhancing safety standards and expanding visitor accessibility to new areas of the Fort.
