Rhode Island history comes alive on October 13

Posted

If you see colonial soldiers in Providence this month, don’t be alarmed – the space-time continuum has not broken. These 17th century soldiers are part of the Rhode Island Historical Society’s What Cheer Day on Saturday, October 13. Each of the four historical society locations will feature their own schedule of events, ranging from war re-enactors drilling in colonial military regalia to an academic roundtable. Come evening, a gala at the Museum of Work & Culture invites guests to enjoy music, an art auction, food and drinks. Gala attendants are encouraged to dress in war-era costumes. Abe Lincoln beards are optional. Check online for event schedules and locations.
