History

The Mishaum Point Military Reservation was built on state land. Its mission was to protect the Cape Cod Canal and New Bedford Harbor from possible air and naval attack. It never did have to fire its guns though but it did play an important part in the defense of the canal. The site also contained a Harbor Entrance Contol Post and a fire control tower.

The Site Now

Nothing remains of the site today, as it is now the site of a mansion.
