RI250 Community Field Guide
Your municipality now has access to the official RI250 Community Field Guide, a practical resource designed to help local committees plan events, engage residents, and highlight the stories that make each Rhode Island community unique. Inside you’ll find guidance on partnering with the Commission, promoting your events, tapping into local history, and inviting the next generation into the Semiquincentennial celebration.
Sign up for the Municipal Partners Newsletter
Stay up to date and in communication with fellow cities and towns, and receive insights, ideas, and updates from the Commission specifically for our community partners.
