Join us for a guided tour of this extensive seaside working farm owned and conserved by Historic New England!

Discover stories of the land, people, and natural resources of Narragansett Bay and learn how preserving our historic landscapes positively affects local food production.

See demonstrations of the farmers working with the heritage sheep and cows, and experience the gorgeous views of the East Passage of Narragansett Bay and the Jamestown Bridge.
