The East Providence Historical Society

The three sections of East Providence are all brought to life in this remarkable series of over two hundred vintage images. From Watchemoket, the town's gateway and political center, to the industrial base of Rumford and Phillipsdale, and finally to Riverside-the Coney Island of New England-this compilation uncovers the diversity and rich texture of the community's heritage. A meander through these pages can mean recollection and reminiscence for older people and revelation for the young. The East Providence Historical Society invites you to join them on this intriguing journey into the past.
