Here is the Post Road hill. It is the road used to deliver mail, march to a battle...or travel down to New York. For a period it was called Main Street, but it is the beginning of the Post Road that goes from Pawtuxet village to New York City.
One of the best vistas in the village because of the old homes along the way. The brick sidewalks and historic lanterns finish the street nicely.
These are the homes of the original developers of the village. The homes and families are traced back to the early 1700's. We have no surviving structures from the 1600's.
Walking the village streets is a popular activity. Lots of folks jog or ride a bike, but I think walking allows you to enjoy so much more.
