HISTORIC PRESERVATION at Fort Barton.
Tiverton preserves Fort Barton’s surviving Revolutionary earthworks within a wooded public park and nature area. Trails, interpretive signs, an observation tower, and protected open space provide access to the hilltop defenses, although erosion, vegetation, and later use have softened the original military features.
