RHODE ISLAND TOURISM:

RHODE ISLAND IS AN UNFORGETTABLE

destination. This tiny New England state is

a gem, boasting a rich and dramatic history,

hundreds of miles of breathtaking beaches

and attractions for the entire family.

Rhode Islanders like to say that their

state is America’s ﬁ rst resort. As early as the

1520s, explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano

sailed the islands of Narragansett Bay.

In 1636, Roger Williams founded Rhode

Island as a place of respite for those seeking

religious freedom. During the Colonial

period, Rhode Island was a haven for fol-

lowers of several different religions, making

it the location of many religious ﬁ rsts. Prov-

idence is home to the First Baptist Church

of America, established in 1638. In addi-

tion, North America’s ﬁ rst Quaker meeting

house, built in the 1600s, and the ﬁ rst Jew-

ish house of worship, Touro Synagogue,

built in 1763, still stand in Newport.

Coming into the 1900s, Rhode Island

was still considered the country’s premier

resort. Wealthy families from New York,
