I love this quaint little village. It’s the perfect place in Rhode Island. There’s a harbor, yummy restaurants, cute shops, and lovely historic homes. The rune stone that’s believed to be inscribed by Vikings is there. Mostly I just love hanging out here.

Wickford Harbor is a hidden gem as is the Village. Just recently sat on a bench overlooking the harbor and witnessed a beautiful sunset. Love the fact that it is rarely crowded. Plenty of parking in the municipal lot right in the center of town; harbor is right there with plenty of benches. Get yourself a cup of coffee and take in all the beauty that is there for the taking. Harbor is great for kayaking, too. Enjoy!

Went to a birthday party at Center and it was wonderful. The person who did the tour/demo for the kids was fantastic and took his time to explain about the fish and turtles over and over again, the kids were 7! Would highly recommend it as there is plenty to see and plenty to do.
