Fort Sewall
About this place
Historic harbor-mouth fort and park at the end of Front Street overseen by the Fort Sewall Oversight Committee. The town's own permits page names only two locations with provided grills, and neither is Fort Sewall, while a townwide bylaw bans making a fire in any park with no explicit grill carve-out for this site.
