From the attack on the British Royal Navy’s HMS Gaspee in 1772 to being the final state to ratify the U.S. Constitution, Rhode Island has a big story to tell as we celebrate 250 years of the United States of America!
Visit the State Archives to see a new exhibit focusing on the story of the American Revolution as one of the original 13 colonies – from the Burning of the Gaspee, to the Battle of Rhode Island, to local military service, and stories beyond.
