Synopsis

For over 200 years, this 112-acre parcel of waterfront land has served the dual functions of a working farm and a summertime retreat. Cole's Farm, one of the earliest settlements in Warwick still lives today, a corporation of shareholders maintaining the small plots of land and tiny cottages that followed the tents before them as they lured overheated city-dwellers to the more comfortable temperatures and family activities of this shoreside community on northern Narragansett Bay. Warwick historian Henry A.L. Brown takes the narrative from the earliest days of Rhode Island to the present, both in words and pictures, some of the rarest to be found, as the story of this particularly Rhode Island summertime tradition unfolds.
