RI 250 - North Kingstown

North Kingstown Quest – Resourcefulness

While British forces occupied Newport, nearby communities adapted and endured through ingenuity and grit. In North Kingstown, Patriots and Loyalists lived side by side, navigating uncertainty in harbors, farms, and villages caught in the crosscurrents of war.

This driving Quest weaves through Wickford Village, Allen Harbor, and Casey Farm, revealing how privateers, militia, and everyday families used resourcefulness to weather occupation, scarcity, and divided loyalties during one of the most turbulent chapters in American history.
