Take A Day Trip To The Blackstone Valley, One Of Rhode Island’s Most Underrated Gems
Rhode Island is known as the Ocean State, and our world class beaches are definitely second to none. That being said, there are also plenty of diverse landscapes, farms, and historic sites worth exploring. Take a day trip to the beautiful Blackstone Valley and you’ll see what we mean.
