Rhode Island: Firsts, Mansions and Museums
When you visit Rhode Island not only will you find a large number of attractions, but you will find that many of them are historically significant. Additionally, some of the most spectacular mansions in the U.S. were built in this tiny state and are now registered with the Historical Society.

Another notable first; the first water-powered cotton mill was built in this Northern state. Additionally, the nation’s first synagogue was built in Rhode Island.
