Narragansett Pier resort shore

Where: Rhode Island · approx. 41.43, -71.46 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Atlantic shore at Narragansett, facing the mouth of Narragansett Bay

What turns up: A fashionable Gilded-Age seaside resort. Behind the old hotels, bath houses and cottage lots expect Victorian-era colored bottles, mineral water and soda bottles, perfumes and medicines, and tableware sherds from the summer-season crowds of the 1880s and 1890s.

Access: Gray area.

Rhode Island reserves strong public rights along the shore, and the beach and tidelands are state public-trust land where removing historic artifacts is restricted. Cottage and hotel uplands are private and need the owner's permission. State law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
