- Mon. 4/14 North Kingstown – Smith’s Castle walking tour (10:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.)

A fun new way to tour each location. FreshMaps and the Battle of RI Association have created a “Revolutionary RI History Hunt” series – a smartphone/mobile app digital scavenger hunt map which brings you to various locations around RI to learn about local American Revolution history, right where it happened! Historian videos appear on your phone, then you solve a puzzle or trivia question to earn points! Best suited for 4th – 8th grade, but open to any age who wants to learn and have some fun exploring. Bring your Android or iPhone to download a mobile app. Single events are free. Join us for any one day, or do them all!
