Points of Interest
| Beavertail State Park | Situated at the southern end of Conanicut Island, Beavertail contains an historic lighthouse, including a museum and a small aquarium that offers close inspection of the kinds of creatures living around the rocks and tidal pools not very far away. Kids love it. The animals are periodically returned to the natural environment and new specimens are gathered to maintain the display. |
|---|---|
| Fort Weatherhill State Park | Located on the east side of Conanicut Island, directly across from Newport's Fort Adams, and open daily for hiking, fishing and picnicing. The strategic location and topography of the site were recognized early. Its military history goes back to the Revolutionary War. Panoramic views of the Bay and Newport, fifty-foot-high granite outcroppings, bluffs, coves, extensive grassy areas, picnic tables and several parking areas. |
| Fort Getty Recreational Area | Located just west of Mackerel Cove Beach, off of Beavertail Road. Overlooking West Passage, it offers 25 tentsites and 100 trailer sites for use by campers. During World Wars I and II, it was used for observation and protection of the entrance to Narragansett Bay. The park offers a boat ramp, fishing area, camper services and showers. |
| Mackerel Cove Beach | Mackerel Cove has long attracted residents and vistors for swimming, sunning and pure relaxation. Situated on a narrow neck of land joining the southern end of Southwest Avenue and the northern end of Beavertail Road, the sandy beach is located between the Fort Wetherill and Fort Getty Recreational areas, across the road from Sheffield Cove and near the Fox Hill nature area. |
| Watson Farm | 796 North Road, is a special place owned by the Society for Preservation of New England Antiguities that provides insight into the way people lived in Jamestown for three hundred years. The main farmhouse was built in 1796, and the farm has been in continuous use ever since. The 280 acre farm has cattle, sheep, horses, a large vegetable garden and two miles of picturesque trails. The property includes salt water estuaries, swamps, woodlands, hayfields, orchards, and open pastures. |
| Jamestown Windmill | Located a mile north of town on North Road, not far from the Watson Farm, the Jamestown windmill was built in 1787 replacing a windmill that was destroyed during the Revolutionary War. Before steam engines and electric motors, Jamestown, with no free-running streams to tap for water power, had to rely on the sea breeze to power the grinding of corn. A major restoration was completed in 2001. Open to visitors from 1-4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday in the summer. Admission is free. (401) 423-1798 |
| Jamestown History Museum | Housed in a 19th century schoolhouse, at 92 Narragansett Avenue, the Jamestown Historical Society operates the Jamestown Museum. Holdings include a collection of ferry system memorabilia, historic photos, maps, and other items that illustrate Jamestown's past. Admission is free. Call (401) 423-0784 for more information. |
