“Salt Pond Pottery is a small gallery of porcelain and stoneware made to be used every day. Ocean-kissed glazes, clean shapes, and pieces built for coffee, flowers, and shared meals... it’s the kind of handmade that sneaks into your routine and never leaves.”

“South County Museum is where our farm, village, and sea stories actually clank, cluck, and print to life, with a living history farm, try-it-yourself blacksmithing and carpentry, and exhibits on Point Judith, Narragansett Pier, and Indigenous history, all tucked among 20,000 artifacts.”
