Fort Getty, Military fort in Jamestown, United States
Fort Getty encompasses 41 acres at the end of Fort Getty Road, featuring old fortifications, a rocky beach, and views across Narragansett Bay.
The fort, constructed in 1901 as part of the Coast Defenses of Narragansett Bay, contained three gun batteries and served as a German prisoner camp during World War II.
The Kit Wright walking trail and wildlife observation platform, built by Boy Scouts in 2000, connect visitors with the natural environment of Fox Hill Marsh.
The park maintains 83 seasonal RV sites and 26 tent camping spots, with reservations available online starting January 2nd each year.
The fort's remaining gun batteries, including Battery Tousard with three 12-inch guns, stand as examples of early 20th-century coastal defense architecture.
