Rhode Island proves the old adage true: good things come in small packages. From the opulence of Newport to the hustle and bustle of Providence to the rustic peace of the northwest corner, the Ocean State is brimming with off-the-beaten-path charms. Discover the impressive collections of vintage and unusual aircraft at the Quonset Air Museum, the wonderful array of Portuguese restaurants in East Providence and Bristol, a tantalizing selection of wines from the native grapes at Diamond Hill Vineyards, a 42-acre bird sanctuary overlooking the Barrington River in Osamequin Park, and the oldest continually operating merry-go-round in America - Watch Hill's Flying Horse Carousel. This fully revised and updated edition also includes historical and cultural information, detailed maps and driving directions, admissions fees and hours of operation, and restaurants and places to stay.
