The Post Office at
Exeter,
(North Kingstown Township, Washington County),
Rhode Island
was established on February 15, 1849
with Samuel S.
Fisher as Postmaster. This
Post Office is currently in operation under Postmaster Katherine Schreck
appointed on May 13, 2006.
Exeter Township is still a mostly rural
area of woods and farmlands and is where my brother George built his home. It
borders on Arcadia State Park and Stepping Stone Falls,
(SEE:
Settling of Rhode Island - Escoheag).
Exeter Township
includes the villages of Exeter,
Liberty,
Fisherville,
Tripps Corner,
Pine Hill,
Black Plain,
and Millville.
The
Hall Schoolhouse was built during the
1750s and was in use until
1952. The one room
schoolhouse taught children in grades 1 through 8 and has been
fully restored and
relocated next to the town hall.
