Warren on Warren:

What Followed Massasoit's Village?

Speaker: Bonnie Warren

Monday, June 22, 2009, 6p.m. buffet dinner followed by talk.

Linden Place Ballroom, 500 Hope Street

Linden Place is happy to welcome The Bristol Historical and Preservation Society for their June dinner meeting. On Monday, June 22nd, join them in the Ballroom of Linden Place.  Bonnie Warren, who has been involved in Warren for forty years walking the waterfront, photographing houses, shops, churches, mills and people, will give us her illustrated talk on the town.

The development of Warren, Rhode Island, is a fascinating story that travels through its initial growth as a colonial outpost of Plimoth, Massachusetts; incorporation as a Rhode Island township in 1746; near devastation and famine in the American Revolution; emergence as a leading whaling center by 1821, followed by the rise and fall of the booming textile mills, and continuation of the historic boat-building and shell-fishing industries.  Today, Warren is a mecca for antique buffs, artists, fisherman and tourists.

Tickets are $25, $30 for non-members.

To reserve seats, to arrange a ride or for more information, please call the Historical Society at 401-253-7223.
