Join us as we open the doors to the Old State House for the first time in 18 months -- and as we celebrate the start of our RI250 programming!

The Old State House (1762) in Providence was one of five seats of government in early Rhode Island, and it was where, on May 4, 1776, the General Assembly voted to separate from the British Crown. The Act of Renunciation became an important symbol of independence in the colonies and made Rhode Island a vanguard of the Revolutionary movement.
