It looks like a lot of campgrounds, Audubon nature reserves, state parks, and the only major city is Providence which is museums and food.
Throw a rock from one side of the state to the other, can probably make it in one good throw
Go to North Kingstown beach and set up camp in front of this guy’s place
If you only have one day, and it’s open, I would recommend visiting Rhode Island School of Design’s museum and campus. The RISD museum was surprisingly nice. Small but uncrowded - it was the type of place I could bring a sketch pad and draw for hours. There are probably other museums and attractions nearby, along with nice places to eat and drink. I don’t know much about outside of Providence though.
It’s an art museum?
Rhode Island School of Design is one of the top art schools in the US. They have an art museum on campus that houses pieces like you’d find at actual city museums plus works by their students. https://www.risd.edu/
I missed the mark on going there, but it would have been cool.
Yes
Take a selfie of yourself and the entire state of Rhode Island in the background. You may need a small box or a selfie stick or something tho.
Newport has some interesting shopping. Get some stuffies (stuffed quahog clams) if you like seafood. They should be eaten with a squeeze of lemon and the cheapest vinegar and cayenne hotsauce you can find.
Just wait a minute… Quahog is real?
Do you know the Griffins?
Try to prove it’s actually an island
The Breakers - this is the Rockefeller’s summer home in Newport. It’s open for tours, and though I don’t recall the prices being crazy, it’s definitely been a while.
It’s so ostentatious and over the top, but beautiful, and full of wonderfully made things.
I think it’s interesting to consider our modern billionaire class as equivalents to Rockefeller’s gilded age.
Oh, and while you’re in RI make sure to get a Del’s frozen lemonade.
Do you want to help me split wood?
The closest that I got was axe throwing.
I’m not strong.
To clarify: only Saturday.
If you can work it out in your schedule, the Waterfires in Providence are great.
If not, Spikes Junkyard Dogs is amazing. I ate there all the time when I went to uni.
Also Newport is further away but they have brilliant sights.
Or Point Judith.
Sept 9th and 30th are full lightings, and are wonderful
Sad there is only one Spike’s left
Only thing I know about Rhode Island is that they made chickens there
Hope this helps!
What?
