June 21 - Newport 3rd Annual Juneteeth Celebration

Come to Newport's historic Washington Square and visit us at the Battle of Rhode Island table at the 3rd Annual Juneteenth Celebration, by the RISHM/Rhode Island Slave History Medallions.

Take a demo of our Revolutionary RI History Hunt experience and pick up a digital clue packet to experience one of our driving or walking tours, in Portsmouth, East Greenwich, Bristol, Providence, and more. Learn about the courageous First Rhode Island Regiment, a unique group of soldiers who earned their freedom from slavery by enlisting to serve the Continental Army for the duration of the Revolution.
