Fort Adams State Park occupies a significant historical site. Construction of the fort began in 1824 and continued for decades, representing one of the largest coastal fortifications in the United States. It was designed as part of the First System of American coastal defenses and later updated throughout the 19th century. The fort never directly engaged in combat but served as an important training and defensive installation during various periods, including both World Wars.

Today, Fort Adams is a popular destination for recreational activities and events. Its expansive grounds offer views of Narragansett Bay and serve as a venue for concerts, festivals, and historical tours. The park is managed by the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management and remains a designated National Historic Landmark.
