In 1963 the federal government gave the property of the Conanicut Battery to the Town of Jamestown; in 1972 it was added to the National Register of Historic Place.

Since the restoration of the park in 2002, the Jamestown Historical Society has worked with the town to maintain the historic elements within the Conanicut Battery Historic Park. Ever other year, the society sponsors Battery Day to celebrate the history of the park.

The park is open from sunup to sundown every day.
