Voted #1 Historic Small Town - USA Today
Celebrating 350 years
Recently voted #1 Historic Small Town by USA Today, Wickford Village is a special place to visit. Having just turned 350, it’s one of the oldest preserved colonial villages in the country. Stroll our streets and discover historic homes and public buildings. Sit next to the beautiful harbor on Narragansett Bay and learn about its rich maritime past. From the architecture to its legacy of entrepreneurs and influential women, Wickford Village is worth exploring.
HistWick (Historic Wickford Inc.) is a nonprofit 501c3 organization of community members dedicated to preserving, protecting and celebrating the cultural and historic features of this special place.
Old Town House
HistWick is still actively soliciting pledges for the renovation of the Old Town House. To bring the Old Town House back to life, Historic Wickford, Inc. needs everyone’s support with a pledge, no matter how small! No money is being collected now, but YOUR pledge is very much needed to secure the total amount necessary to restore this 1807 historic meeting house.
For the many pledges that we have already received, we are truly grateful. Our goal is to generate as many pledges as possible. So the full participation of our membership and HistWick’s many friends is vital because your pledge will help secure both federal and state grants!
