Aquidneck Island is full of stories, and many are held in the historic homes all around us. While we often focus on Aquidneck Island’s Colonial and Victorian histories, this annual project encourages us to think about our own homes, histories and what we know of the people who lived there before us, before them, and maybe even before them.

Turning each of us into historical detectives, A House in Common builds relationships between people who’ve shared the same space at different times and then welcomes visitors into what they’ve learned.
