Beautiful mix of old historic buildings and modern neighborhood. It straddles Pawtuxet River with Cranston on one side and Warwick on the other, connected by a beautiful old bridge. Large village green/park running down to the river. Large gazebo in center of the green. Home of the Pawtuxet Rangers, a historic Revolutionary War Militia and reinactment group. In June there are numerous events, including a huge parade, large craft show, reinactments, all celebrating the burning of the Gaspee, a British Revenue schooner, which is also burned in effigy every year. Several excellent restaurants in the village and various shops. Very walkable village and surrounding neighborhoods. I always enjoy visiting this village.

I would like to commend the Staff of St Ann’s Cemetery for their thorough willingness to help me to find the information which allowed me to locate the grave of my Grandfather and sharing the information recorded at the time of his burial which allowed me to complete our Family Genealogy.

I was greeted by Mary, the resident manager and her husband Greg and then later by the President of Cranston Historical Society. I was treated to the most beautiful private tour of the Sprague Mansion and given the history of the Mansion and the family that lived there for so many years. Wonderful visit and discussion about Kate Chase and Governor William Sprague! I was treated so special, I will never forget them or the tour.
