Fort Barton Site in Tiverton, Rhode Island, is a historic American Revolutionary War fort that now resides within a public park at Lawton and Highland Avenues. The fort's earthworks, spanning approximately 150 feet long and 100 feet deep, serve as a reminder of its strategic importance during the Battle of Rhode Island in 1778. Named after Lt. Col. William Barton, who famously captured British General Prescott in a daring raid, Fort Barton was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Its location overlooking the ferry crossing between Tiverton and Aquidneck Island played a crucial role in the region's military history during the Revolutionary War.Generated from the website
