Barneys Joy Point Military Reservation
Barneys Joy Point Military Reservation, Military fort in Dartmouth, United States.
The Barneys Joy Point Military Reservation extends along the Massachusetts coast, featuring concrete foundations and defensive positions facing Buzzards Bay.
Established in 1943, this military site contained four 90mm guns as part of the Harbor Defenses of New Bedford during World War II.
The military reservation represents the defensive infrastructure that protected New England's industrial ports and shipping channels during wartime operations.
While the site remains off-limits to visitors, researchers can access historical documentation through the National Archives and local military records.
The reservation maintained two fixed-mount and two towed-mount guns, along with additional anti-aircraft weapons to counter potential torpedo boat attacks.
