Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame

The Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame was founded in March 1965 to honor the contributions of those whose efforts, in any line of endeavor, have added significantly to the heritage of the State of Rhode Island.

We have digitized our collection of biographies of over 600 famous (and not-so-famous) contributors to Rhode Island’s strong place in US and World history. We hope this site will be both an interesting place to discover the richness of our state’s past, as well as a useful tool for students and history buffs to do research.
