'Knowing RI' breaks down the history, highlights and fun facts about each city and town

Rhode Island's "Knowing RI" initiative offers an in-depth look at the state's towns, starting with the East Bay area, which includes Barrington, Warren, Bristol, Tiverton, and Little Compton. The initiative aims to highlight local history, scenic trails, beaches, museums, and dining options, making it appealing to both residents and tourists. Following the East Bay, the series will feature Aquidneck Island, highlighting Newport, Middletown, Portsmouth, and Jamestown. This effort seeks to engage the community and promote local tourism by showcasing unique municipal attractions and stories. Released twice a week throughout November, the series encourages residents to deepen their understanding of their home state.

The initiative reflects a growing interest in local heritage and outdoor activities in Rhode Island. By presenting captivating stories and videos, "Knowing RI" aims to foster a sense of pride and connection among residents. This project underscores the importance of local culture and tourism in the Ocean State.
