Historical Wickford Village in Rhode Island is Ideal for a Day Trip

Rhode Island is a small state absolutely packed with history. Just wandering the streets of so many a small town can give you the feeling that you’ve just stepped out of a time machine into an age where the states were still getting their names and shapes. Historical Wickford village is one spot that will give you that wonderful feeling.

Originally plotted out in 1709, this seaside village was conceived of even before American independence!

We also recommend a stop at the Old Narragansett Church. It's thought to be the oldest Episcopal Church in the Northeast!

But don't spend all your time inside. There are beautiful harbor views to take in, and in the right season, you can rent a kayak or paddleboard and hop on the water yourself.
