History lovers and curious minds have a new reason

History lovers and curious minds have a new reason to visit Fort Adams this summer: for the first time ever, the iconic military landmark is opening its underground listening tunnels to the public as part of its self-guided tour experience.

The narrow, brick-lined tunnels — once used by soldiers in the 19th century to detect enemy intruders — have long fascinated visitors. Now, guests can walk the very paths that protected the fort from beneath, adding a thrilling new chapter to Fort Adams’ rich story.

“This is a major addition to our offering here at Fort Adams,” said Paul Marshall, Director at Fort Adams Trust. “Opening the listening tunnels to self-guided visitors allows us to share a hidden piece of military history in an immersive, unforgettable way.”

The expansion was made possible thanks in part to a grant from Ocean State Charities Trust. Their funding supported new safety upgrades, interpretive signage, and educational materials to help guide visitors through the dimly lit tunnels, offering insight into their purpose and construction.

The listening tunnels are now included with general admission to the self-guided tour and are open during regular hours. Visitors can also choose guided tours for a deeper dive into the fort’s storied past.

To book a tour or learn more about the experience, visit www.fortadams.org.

Introducing South Winds, a coastal landmark estate

Introducing South Winds, a coastal landmark estate custom-designed and privately held by one family — now offered for the first time in its history.

Set on 14.4 acres of pastoral waterfront in Jamestown, Rhode Island, this serene sanctuary offers a kaleidoscope of seasonal color where land meets sea. A peaceful retreat just a short walk to town, this architectural gem captures the essence of coastal New England living.

With sweeping ocean vistas and the murmur of waves as your soundtrack, the home offers en suite comfort in all four bedrooms. The primary suite features a private balcony with views of Rhode Island Sound and the West Passage. Architectural millwork and built-ins enrich the thoughtful design throughout.

Ideal for entertaining, the expansive covered deck invites al fresco dining with sunset views — just steps from the beach. Launch your paddleboard, swim, or fish from the shoreline, or meander through cedar trees and calming meadows, surrounded by conservation land and wildlife.

Spend quiet afternoons by the pool and cabana, or cultivate your own garden within artisan stone walls and a hand-crafted gate. Additional structures on the property include a barn and versatile outbuildings — perfect for a studio, workshop, or creative retreat.

With town water and family compound potential, South Winds is a rare blend of tranquility and accessibility — a coastal haven where family and friends can gather comfortably and where memories are made for generations to come.
