There were 12 commemorative stamps, 1 definitive
stamp, and 5 postal stationary items relating to Rhode Island
issued after 1951. The first was the Automated Providence Post
Office issue of 1960.
Our home was originally in
Newport, but we moved across the bay,
(Narragansett) to
Saunderstown in 1956. The area we lived in contained
many historic sites and I will be introducing you to some of them on
these pages.
These include; Gilbert Stuart's birthplace
(Snuff
Mill), the Casey and
Hazard historic farms, the oldest church
meeting house in Western Rhode Island, old lighthouses, and the many
historic homes and churches located in Wickford and
Narragansett. |
