Pawtuxet Village Association

The Pawtuxet Village Association is a non-profit 501(c)(3) community organization dedicated to preserving the structures, community, and history of the National Historic District. Pawtuxet Village is one of the first registered historic districts in the country and sits on the Pawtuxet River in both Warwick and Cranston. It is unique as one of the first settled communities in RI and contains a varied collection of homes and history of commerce on the waterfront. "From Attics to Archive", these pictures were sourced from personal collections and represent the varied aspects of life in this community from about 1870 to present.
This collection is part of Providence Public Library Digital Collections, hosted by Providence Public Library.
