Smith's Castle in Wickford, RI is a lovely 17th century historic house museum and surrounding grounds overlooking Narragansett Bay. The house and grounds represent four centuries of Rhode Island history, a fact you just can't escape when you arrive on the property and see the docents in their period costumes!
After exploring Wickford (including a stop for ice cream) we visited Smith's Castle for the first time on Thursday. Smith's Castle is owned and cared for by the Cocumscussoc Association and we met with the Association's past President, Neil, the Assistant President, Maggie, and the Office Administrator, Melissa. The Cocumscussoc Association is clearly made up of passionate and dedicated volunteers and their enthusiasm was contagious. All in all, we had a great afternoon at Smith's Castle, a beautiful site with a lot of fascinating history and an interesting story to tell. We can't wait to go back for the Strawberry Festival on June 20th!
