The Future of Tomaquag Museum

Tomaquag Museum is Rhode Island's only museum entirely dedicated to telling the story of the Indigenous peoples of this land. Whether you are traveling in Apponaug ("waiting place"), Aquidneck Island ("at the island"), or Chepachet ("boundary/separation place"), evidence of Rhode Island's Native origin is plentiful. "There is no Rhode Island history without Narragansett history".

This free event will feature a presentation from Tomaquag's Executive Director, Lorén Spears, outlining the Museum's programming and purpose. You will also get a special "insider peek" at the new Tomaquag Museum, which is coming soon to Kingston, RI.

Nibbles and hot beverages will be available.
