I have been trying to come here for years and finally made it, and it exceeded expectations! Beautiful location, beautiful museum, and amazing social justice and civil rights tour given by the museum staff member, who was not only incredibly well informed and passionate but had stories to share from her and her family's own experiences.
I learned so much, and will definitely be coming back to learn more! absolutely enjoyable, educational, and enlightening.
definitely best thing to do in exeter and probably rhode island!
2. Leyden Farm Vineyard and Winery

Reviewed By Michaelbdoherty - Norton, Massachusetts
Just off the main road makes it an easy to find and enjoyable ride. A very nice tasting room operation was enjoyable. Friendly staff made for a great experience. My only complaint was the price of tasting. Me and my wife both wanted a tasting and the bill came to $22.00! This did not include the glasses (they were and EXTRA) $3.00 each. We got to choose 5 wines. Neither tasting was comped with the purchase of 2 bottles of wine. Wine prices were a little high for what they were. Most were around $19.00 a bottle. Another winery in the area charged the same however glasses were complimentary.
3. Nathanael Greene Homestead

This visit was spontaneous as I saw the signs along the road for Nathaniel Greene' Homestead. I followed the signs into a neighborhood, parking is across the street.
Unfortunately, this place is only open on Monday, Friday, and Sunday; I was here on Wednesday.
I still got out of my car, looked around on the outside and read the information on the Homestead. As I was looking around I could only imagine how this placed looked before the existing neighborhood was built around it, I'm sure it was a nice homestead. I'll have to come again with my family and hopefully catch a reenactment of some sort.

Buttonwood Farms produces premium, farm-fresh ice cream on our scenic family farm. Our waffle cones and homemade whipped cream are made fresh daily! Our Sunflowers for Wishes festival and fundraiser to benefit Make-A-Wish will take place July 22-30. During weekends in the fall (September 17 - October 30) visit our 7 acre corn maze, pick-your-own pumpkin patch, and family-friendly attractions.

Great family attraction. Many acres of in-bloom Sunflowers as far as you can see. You can walk or take a ride through the fields, photograph or just see the flowers. The kids will love the tractor rides towing kids and parents in small "cow" carts. When done, you can visit the ice cream stand and enjoy some great home made ice cream. The Sunflower Ice Cream was great but they have dozens of flavors. The week that we visited (July 30th, 2017) was the last day of the festival, so check ahead for next year. As an added incentive to go, the day that we were there, the proceeds earned by the farm were being donated to "Make a Wish Foundation". there is no admission fee but there are fees for the ice cream, etc.

Another great day filming with RI PBS's series Harvesting RI. Today Harvesting RI takes us to Ocean State Hops, Rhode Island's first commercial hop farm and the Tilted Barn. Where the co owner Matt Richardson is fueled by a passion to cram as many hops into each batch of beer as humanly possible.

Always enjoy walking around this little town with it's shop and early colonial history. Besides the shops, be sure to check out the historic houses and churches, especially the Old Narragansett Church built in 1707 ( a little hard to find, located on a small back street ).
