Written By Cate Brown

Aug 28, 1887 (yes you read that right)

SYNOPSIS — Rhode Island’s shore privileges were remarkable enough to be described in this 1887 newspaper article in Indianapolis. Notice how it emphasizes the privileges which arose out of “usage” IN ADDITION TO the rights identified in the 1663 Charter.
