The Most Quintessential New England Town Is Wickford Village, Rhode Island
Rhode Island may be a small state, but it’s filled with charming small towns with a lot of, history and culture. It’s simply one of the perks of being one of the oldest states in the union, and it’s something we don’t take for granted. But you’d be hard-pressed to find a small town more enchanting… and more decidedly New England… than Wickford Village.
These picturesque streets are quiet, family, and undeniably enchanting.
Its location on Narragansett Bay in a protected cove was absolutely perfect.
Many of the houses here are designated historic sites that were built in the late 17th or early 18th centuries.

It's strange seeing old buildings and graveyards that were established before our country's official birthday.
No wonder even lifelong Rhode Islanders can't seem to get enough of this place.
Wickford Village is a wonderful place to visit in any season. If you’re interested in taking a self-guided walking tour (otherwise known as a social distancing stroll), you’ll find more information here.
