First Impressions: Pettaquamscutt Historical Society

The Pettaquamscutt Historical Society (PHS) is in the unique position of operating a regional organization with several properties--including the newly acquired Hale House! PHS was founded in 1958, and is headquarted in the Old Washington County Jail. The Ernest Hamlin Baker Mural housed at the PHS is a shining example of the types of art and artifacts with special significance for South County that are preserved through PHS.

With several towns to work with and the University of Rhode Island located just across the street, PHS has amazing opportunities for collaboration and innovative programming. More to come soon. . .
