Paine House Museum Tour

Owned and operated by The Western Rhode Island Civic Historical Society, the Paine House museum, built about 1691, is a former Colonial home and Inn, restored and furnished in the period-style. This makes it the oldest standing structure in Coventry, RI. The museum received a variety of items collected from the local community including Civil War, Railroad, kitchen, furnishings, serve ware, clothing, quilts, sewing, needle work, bicycles, hand tools, musical instruments and so much more! The Barn loom is operational in the basement along with a display on turning raw materials into thread and fabric. The tour lasts about an hour but feel free to "bring-your-own-lunch" to have on the beautiful grounds of The Paine House Museum afterwards.
