Rhode Island

Visitors will discover that Rhode Island has an abundance of Colonial and Victorian homes, palatial estates reminiscent of the gilded age, and public buildings, the nation's first enclosed shopping mall, the first manufacturing plant in America, a delightful 17th century fishing village, the boyhood home of one of America's finest colonial artists, and two houses of worship which represent the roots of religious freedom in America. Rhode Island is located in the southeastern corner of New England within easy traveling distance of several major northeast cities. We're just 60 miles from Boston, Mass., 180 miles from New York City and under 350 miles from Montreal, Canada. And because Rhode Island itself is only 48 miles long by 37 miles wide, it's easy to get from one attraction to another. Which means you can do more on your vacation.
