Interested in learning more about our State’s fascinating weather history? Drop in at the Ashaway Free Library on Friday, November 21, between 11AM and 1PM, to see a free pop-up exhibit exploring primary source documents from the Rhode Island State Archives! This “wild” exhibit showcases documents, photographs, and reports all about weather events that have impacted our small state. From hurricanes to wildfires, these records help tell the meteorological story of Rhode Island. Our State Archivist, Ashley Selima, will be on hand to chat about the exhibit.
