Celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence with a History Walk to Allin’s Cove on Saturday, March 7, at 10 am. All ages are welcome. 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. They are held in collaboration with Barrington 250.
Allin’s Cove provides a glimpse into the life of General Allin, the history of slavery in Barrington, and early industry in town like Rhode Island Laceworks.
Allin’s Cove is located off Third Street in Barrington, RI, but parking is NOT allowed on Third Street. Please park on Chapel Road (on the same side of the street as the St. Matthews & Mark Church to ensure safety vehicles can get by). The walk will last about an hour.
