An 1895 carousel featuring 66 hand-carved figures.
What a great ride. Took us back to our childhood days...senior discounts and the attendants were most helpful to ensure that everyone had a great ride. The carousel horses were sturdy and most beautiful. Outside riders had the chance to snag a brass (plastic) ring.

The Cape Verdean Museum has a unique collection of artifacts, photographs, maps and crafts the tell the story of the islands and their people. It has also a great deal of information on Cape Verdean Americans and their history. There are exhibits on slavery, whaling, Cape Cod cranberry picking, the immigration packets, the longshoremen, the Independence movement among other topics. The museum has one of the largest collections of English-language books on the people and a special selection of films and maps.
I took my kids here last year when we were doing a little research into our roots and had such a great time. The women working were so helpful and had lots of knowledge about the history of the island and immigration into Rhode Island. There are many Cape Verdeans in Southern New England and this museum tells their story with pride and respect which my family really appreciated. Even though it’s a small space, they cram history into every corner. There’s a lot of information about the story of the islands themselves and great artifacts. You also get an idea what life is like in Cape Verde today. And then there is a lot of space dedicated to how people traveled to the United States, including what ships they took and what it cost to send your luggage. Then there is a room dedicated to CV music and other cultural aspects of the community. They also have a library where you can look through the archives on a bunch of different subjects. It was a fun day at this museum and I’d highly recommend it if you’re interested in researching your roots or you want to learn more about immigration and Rhode Island history.
