A big thank you to the members of our WHS board (and a few generous spouses) and Eden Restoration who help prepare some of our historic sites today for next week’s annual 4th Grade Tours.

The work isn’t glamorous, but it makes a tremendous difference. Thanks to their teamwork, hundreds of local students will have the opportunity to experience these properties at their very best.

We take pride in sharing Warwick’s history with the next generation, and that wouldn’t be possible without the people who give their time and energy to care for these special places.

A MASSIVE thank you for helping us showcase our community’s heritage with pride!

This Memorial Day, we remember those who gave their lives in service to our country and reflect on the generations who have worked to honor their sacrifice. 🇺🇸

Pictured here: Boy Scouts and community members at the dedication of the “Hallowed Ground” Revolutionary War Campground and Cemetery on November 1, 1929 — at the site of today’s Park Avenue School grounds.

May we continue to preserve and remember the stories of those who came before us.
