We don’t mean to play favorites… but of all of Rhode Island’s delightful historic villages, Wickford always ranks among the top. This seaside gem dates back to 1709, and it’s full of century-old buildings and good old-fashioned charm. And if you book a carriage ride through New Deal Horse and Carriage, you’ll see it in a whole new (fantastic) way.

Wickford Village is located in Wickford Harbor in North Kingstown.
