Oak's Inn Military Reservation


Oak's Inn Military Reservation was a coastal defense site located in Misquamicut, Rhode Island in the town of Westerly, overlooking Misquamicut State Beach. It was part of the Harbor Defenses of Long Island Sound. Today, the site is a residential development.

History

Oak's Inn Military Reservation was built adjacent to the inn of the same name in 1942. The site had four "Panama mounts" for four towed 155 mm guns. A battery of two 16-inch guns was proposed for this location but not built. The reservation was deactivated in 1944.

Present

The site and the adjacent inn of the same name were demolished for residential development by the 2000s, with no remaining structures.
