Join us as we celebrate the 250 years since Rhode Island’s Renunciation Act which came before the Declaration of Independence. Our 1734 house will be filled with documents such as Joshua’s will and estate inventory, letters Franklin wrote to Joshua, furniture which graced those homes and even games and toys for children, so bring the whole family as there will be something for everyone.  Refreshments will include items made from authentic colonial recipes.  Colonial games can be purchased at Joshua’s Store.  Alex Nunes will read the Act of Renunciation at 2:15.

Later that evening, you can visit nearby Ward Field for food trucks and a drone show sponsored by the Town of Westerly.
