Join the Rhode Island Historical Society on Saturday, May 2, at 10:30am for “Part One” of our Revolutionary War walking tour series in Providence! Examine the roots of the American Revolution in Rhode Island with guide Scott Alexander. From the Gaspee Affair to the Act of Renunciation, discover how locals reacted to the “shot heard ’round the world” and how rebel actions led to our small state being the first to declare independence. Comfortable shoes are a must during this 75-minute walk through the historic College Hill neighborhood—tricorn hats, though optional, are always encouraged!
This tour covers approximately one mile and includes hilly terrain. Keep an eye out for “Part Two” in our Revolutionary War walking tour series, The Revolution in Rhode Island.
