She also showed us several old-fashioned games which we really enjoyed playing outside. We enjoyed seeing the kitchen where Indian pudding and fried squash were being made over an open fire. We also got to try our hand at grinding flour, planing wood and fed the cows and pigs from the garden! The location is beautiful with the bay in the background. It was so enjoyable to be in nature and to step back into the Past. The museum is also participating with the Blue Star military program, which is awesome!!

Phantoms and Fires (Halloween event) review: During Covid…read moretimes with not a lot of Halloween festivities happening in RI, it was great to hear about this event especially for kids since Halloween will be unlike any Halloween I have ever experienced! The ads had me excited- great job! For adults: If you like theatre, being outside walking in the dark and Poe- this is totally for you! As we entered the grounds, we were waved into a large parking area (not lite at all.) Turned in our tickets at a little structure decked out in orange lights, were given a sheet identifying the happenings of the evening and made our way up to the homestead area guided by lanterns with real candles inside. As we approached the first structure it was well lit, no sign, no one around. So we kept walking. The next structure had a female delivering dialogue- a story about a farmer's wife, how she became tormented and dealt with her torment. I was blown away by he theatrics, her long monologue and how she held the presence of the audience. It was then easy to identify after hearing her and noticing that people then flocked to the next location and waited for the next presentation to begin. The rest of the night went on this way where you went to the structure, waited for the next theatrical performance and moved on. There was a nice break with a musician from NYC who delivered 3 songs, 1 original, one country and then a Peter Gabriel hit. Feeling cold? Stand by the fire! For Kids: We attended with a 7 and 9 year old who both dressed in their costumes for the Halloween event. From the advertisements I was ready for a night all ages could enjoy. My husband and I definitely discussed that this is not an event for young kids. We had a 5 year old going but last minute had to be cancelled- this event was too grown up for her and the 7/9 year old needed a lot of help from the adults to understand what was happening. The advertisement on the website states: Explore the museum after hours where you will find spooky delights from bats and bonfires to cauldrons and candy, from ghosts and guitars to horror and...maybe even...a headless horseman! No bats or cauldrons or I guess more than words use to describe ghosts in Edgar Allen Poe language that maybe the kids couldn't understand. I can say that they did catch on to system and became captivated by the theatrics. No complaints but it wasn't as I expected from their ads. I can say that collecting stamps to get a bag of treats at the end was their favorite although this process was hard to understand as well and the Headless Horseman (a lady) was a big thrill for them. Things they could do better/Safety review: Tell patrons to bring flashlights as it is not very well lite (even the parking lot.) The only bathrooms were 2 porta potties at the parking lot! Small hike from festivities. No had sanitizer at the check in desk where they ask you to use a communal pen for contact tracing (it's Covid times people!) The walk up to the structures is not flat and large rocks lay there- beware! We had a trip and a fall in our group. Be careful visiting the fire- all the wood is a few steps away laying on the ground and it's pretty dark. The stamp collecting station- the poor workers had no light to help them see what they were doing! Also, we were told to stop at the jack-o-lanterns to obtain the stamps but one guy gave us 2 stamps, we could not find one station (come to find out the girl who was working the station was wandering) and another station the lights had burnt out in the pumpkin so we were unsure if it was a station! (Honestly- great idea just needs some work.) As we were listening to the last actress deliver her performance (at the end of the night) the people working the showing were coming in and out of the gate next to her and people were leaving for the night. I found this very unfair to the actress and us as paid patrons. Our ticket was at 6:30 with the event ending at 8pm. There were 7 stops on the program. By the team we got into the event- we only had time to stop at 5 performances (one being the music.) As we were leaving the kids questioned how come we couldn't meet the last 2 characters.

First of all, their venue and rules, we respect that, but we find them rude and condescending…read more We frequently visit many farmers' markets and always take out three small French Bulldogs. This is the first time in years we've been kicked out of one. We drove there from Boston today for the first time, and heard great things about the place and the farmers' market. As we entered the gate, a banner with a picture of dogs was displayed. We drove on the grass and parked at the rear of the farmers' market. We unloaded our dogs. As we walked through the rear corner of the market, the first vendor sold dog treats and toys. We were browsing around, I was minding the dogs while my wife was looking at vegetables. The owner came over and was very rude and condescending, telling me they do not allow dogs, and proceeded to insist that I was a moron for not seeing a sign that said no dogs allowed. However, all I could see was the rear of the sign, and we had not entered the market that way. We promptly left as asked, again, at their place, their rules. I don't have an issue with that; my problem was with the delivery of the message. My wife and I could have sworn that when we looked at the website months ago, we saw that they welcome dogs, but after revisiting the FAQ page, it is clear that they do not. Our apologies for making the mistake.

An island that never…read morechanges I love going to Prudence island. The little ferry from Bristol is inexpensive and just the trip itself pretty nice. For some fortunate reason the island was never really developed which is shocking considering how beautiful it is. There are some houses but I don't think many people stay there year round and any kids probably end up going to Portsmouth for school. We love to bike around the island because even in the summer the traffic is light to nonexistent. Not very many paved roads so a mountain bike is necessary but you can make it around the whole island in a few hours. It even has a cute little lighthouse that you can walk right up to. The views around the island are just spectacular and in many spots it seems you are the only people on the island. An absolutely wild and unspoiled place that always seems fresh no matter how many times we go out there. About the only negative thing about the island is that ticks also seem to enjoy it and repellent is a must. No, there's not much out there, and that is what makes it so great. There is a small store by the ferry landing to buy junk food and drinks but nothing else. That is why Prudence is so special.

Prudence Island is really good at what it's good for, but really not good at most everything else…read more For example, day trips! Not a great idea. It's okay, but really only if you can bike it. It's too big to comfortably walk in a few hours. And a mountain bike is a must; most of the roads are unpaved. Those that are paved, the pavement is very old and pock marked. There's some bike rental places in Bristol a short walk from the ferry dock. There's very little in the way of specific things to do. Mostly you'd just bike around the perimeter to enjoy the view of Narragansett Bay. If something that simple is enough for you? You'll love it! If you want ANYTHING more, you'll be disappointed. Watch out for ticks, too. They're EVERYWHERE. Your dog will have a ball but be prepared to pull a lot of ticks off them. And your kids. And you. Don't wimp out: use the hardcore extra-DEET bugspray and use it liberally all over your entire body & clothes. There are literally no shops nor restaurants. At all. It's almost hard to believe but there it is. There's a small general store with limited food and some curios, that's it. It's usually open only when the ferry arrives. There's also no public bathrooms on the island. NONE. I'm dead serious here. Hit the "head" on the ferry right before you arrive because that's the last place you'll have to "go" (unless you find some bushes) until you leave. The ferry runs five or six times a day from Bristol. It's very reasonably priced (esp if you're not bringing a car) but has a lot of trouble with high winds on the Bay. Don't schedule things too tightly or you can get stranded pretty easily. And there's no hotels or anything like that whatsoever, although the locals are generally pretty friendly and odds are good someone could put you up for the night. A much, much better way to go is to rent a place for a week and plan to do nothing but relax, watch the water, maybe some fishing. Watch the sun rise, hang out all day, go to bed at sunset. Cook your own meals (epic grilling!) and read some books. Watch the birds. That's it. But if raising the concept of doing nothing to an artform is not your idea of a splendid week? I'd recommend going elsewhere. FWIW, the weekly rental rates aren't bad; way better than Block Island or The Vineyard. But they're reflecting the more "simple" lifestyle and lack of amenities. And the "hassle" of having to buy all your food on the mainland and hoof it with you on the ferry, then cook everything yourself. Cellphone service is decent to good, depending on which side of the island you're on; you're picking it up from towers on the mainland or Portsmouth. Home internet is very iffy. Bring a 4G hotspot if you absolutely need internet access. (it kinda violates the spirit of the island though) There's no cable TV, either; some houses get directv/satellite TV. Regular over the air TV is not bad with a good rooftop antenna. All in all, it's a great place for what it is, and a very not-good place for what it isn't. Bear that in mind and you'll have a good time, otherwise, you'll know to go to Block Island or The Cape.
