Rhode Island is a small state with amazing offerings. Though you could visit every town in one day if you wanted to, the state is also filled with charming and diverse villages that are perfect additional places to explore. Some villages are a little more popular than others for holding so many one of a kind attractions.

Wickford Village is by far one of the most popular and frequently visited villages in state. It’s also one of the most unique.
