The History of Weekapaug, with Tom Boll

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Weekapaug began to develop as a summer resort destination. Families from nearby cities such as Providence and New York built summer cottages and large, shingle-style homes along the coastline. The construction of these seasonal residences marked the transformation of Weekapaug from a sleepy agricultural community into a fashionable seaside retreat. Weekapaug’s history is a testament to the resilience and spirit of its residents, who have weathered storms and changes while maintaining a deep connection to their coastal heritage.

Enjoy wine and desserts as Mr. Boll presents the history of Weekapaug, covering its transformation from an initial farming community until 1938.

This is a complimentary event, but reservations strongly recommended.
