Thank you to all who came out in the rain yesterday for our Central Street Walking Tour. A particularly loud shoutout to Washington Trust for their sponsorship and Jolene from Washington Trust for volunteering, as well as Kaitlyn Pimental and her team from the ReMax Fitzpatrick Group for their marketing support. Thank you to all of the volunteers that made the event happen! We couldn't have done it without you. Donna Rodgers was our fantastic, fearless leader, organizing and leading the entire group of volunteers. Special thanks to Father Craig Swan of St. Peter's by-the-Sea for welcoming our attendees into St. Peter's and continuing the tour there. We hope those who attended enjoyed themselves and continue to support the Narragansett Historical Society!

We've checked the forecast for Sunday, and while Mother Nature appears determined to give our umbrellas a workout, the tour is still on! So dust off your wellies, locate that umbrella you've been ignoring since last year (err… last Sunday), and join us as planned.
If your scheduled time slot seems likely to feature its own personal rain cloud, feel free to reschedule in advance or show up at a less soggy hour. Haven't registered yet? Good news! We still have openings. Go ahead and register online or stop by the registration table at Central and Boon Streets between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., and we'll do our best to fit you in.
Remember: there's no such thing as bad weather, only bad gear. And possibly bad weather. But at the moment it looks like that’ll be after 4:00. Link to register:

Did you live in, work in, or visit Narragansett before or during its "urban renewal" in the 1960's and early 1970's? ? Do you have memories of the "pre urban renewal" Narragansett you'd like to share? We would love to hear from you!
