Rhode Island is located in
the southeastern corner of New England within easy traveling distance of
several major northeast cities. It is 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.
Enjoy your vacation and leave the logistics to others! Tour guide services
make visiting the state as inviting as hot cider on a brisk fall day.
For more than 100 years, southern Rhode Island's wide, sandy beaches and
relaxed lifestyle have attracted summer vacationers from around the globe.
Swimming, boating, fishing, water-skiing, whale-watching and beach combing
represent a handful of the many seaside activities enjoyed on South County
beaches all summer long. Yet South County's vacation appeal extends far
beyond the shore. Charming villages, rolling countryside, historic sites and
hundreds of acres of woodlands offer unlimited opportunities for hiking,
canoeing, cycling, shopping and touring.
Today visitors, school groups and history buffs alike are drawn to the
region to explore its fascinating history and discover its important effects
on America's growth as a manufacturing giant. Some of the region's most
popular attractions are Slater Mill Historic Site (1793), riverboat cruises
aboard the Blackstone Valley Explorer, and the Blackstone Valley National
Heritage Corridor. And be sure to visit the Blackstone Valley's newest
attraction, The Museum of Work and Culture. The state of the art museum
provides a fascinating interactive experience for visitors as it traces the
story of mill workers who came from the farms of Quebec in the last third of
the 19th century to work in the shoe and textile factories of new England.
