EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE RAIN, SNOW or SHINE.
A “Before and After Tour of Historic Homes at Fort Adams” will take place on Saturday, December 14, 2013 from 11:00am until 5pm. The tour will begin at the Fort Adams Visitors' Center. Docents will conduct a guided tour of the Fort Adams' Officers' Quarters where families lived prior to the construction of Officers’ Row in the 1870s. Visitors will then tour four of the historic homes decorated for Christmas. Each house has its own unique style with items that reflect the travels of the military family who calls it home. This is the first time these homes will be open to the public. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 the day of the event. Tickets include tour of Fort Adams Officers’ Quarters and five historic homes. Proceeds benefit the Fort Adams Trust and Military Spouses of Newport(formerly known as Newport Officer Spouses’ Club).
