Exhibits – 2008

"Old Town Hall"

The Old Town Hall is opening as an exhibit area. The community service of the Scouts from Portsmouth's Troupe 1 allowed this goal to become a reality. Senator Levesque obtained funds for the project through the Senatorial Grant from the State of Rhode Island.

The exhibit display includes horse drawn vehicles, farm tools, light poles from Mount Hope Bridge and gears from the old railroad bridge.

Mr. Kenneth Ayers from Rhode Island DEM's, Department of Agriculture, introduced the display with a talk and slides of agriculture past, present and future.
