Celebrate Earth Day and the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence with a History Walk and Cleanup at Osamequin Nature Preserve on Wednesday, April 22, at 1 pm.
All ages are welcome; children must be supervised by an accompanying adult. The event is free and open to the public, regardless of where you live.
Each of our 2026 History Walks will present elements of Barrington’s history in connection with the location we are visiting. Osamequin Nature Preserve offers insight into the ancestral homelands of the Pokanoket people, the original inhabitants of this area.
Osamequin Nature Preserve is located on the northbound side of Rte. 114, approximately one mile north of the intersection of County Road and Massassoit Ave, in Barrington, RI. There is a parking area off 114 and the preserve is marked with a sign. Be careful as you enter and exit the parking area, as traffic moves quickly along 114.
