We're excited to launch the new Fort Burnside Communication & Coastal Defense Museum website. This is where we'll share news, events, collection highlights, and ongoing research about Beavertail's remarkable wartime history.

What's here

• Browse our growing digital collection — artifacts, photographs, and documents from Fort Burnside's 1942–1978 service life
• Learn about The Mansion — the HECP building designed to look like an ordinary Rhode Island seaside cottage
• Plan your visit to Beavertail State Park to walk the Battery 213 emplacements and fire control towers
• Become a member to support preservation and receive The Signal, our quarterly newsletter

More updates to come. Stay tuned.
