As one of the thirteen original colonies of the United States, Rhode Island is rooted in the challenges, conflicts, and triumphs of the nation. While it is the smallest state in the union, it still boasts a dense and diverse population. Rhode Island was founded by outcasts from the Massachusetts Bay Colony who were seeking a place to live out real religious freedom; this is reflected by a large number of historic and unique communities of faith. More recent history has cast light on the region’s role in the trading of enslaved people and the efforts to move toward reconciliation. Beautiful coastal communities and Gilded Age mansions make the region a feast for the eyes as well.
