Wickford Village

Historic town · North Kingstown · Rhode Island

One of the oldest preserved colonial villages in the Northeast, its harborfront streets lined with eighteenth-century houses turned into boutiques and galleries. October brings pumpkin decorating, a costume parade, and an official night of trick-or-treating through the shops, on top of the usual boat traffic and waterfront cafes.
