Things to Do in Rhode Island: Small State Roadside Stops

Rhode Island state flag

Rhode Island is the smallest state with some big personality—giant blue bugs and unexpected art installations. Some of these we’ve visited, others are still on our list. When we’ve been somewhere, the link takes you to our photo page with details and snark. Otherwise, you’ll head to their official site (assuming one exists—sometimes that’s half the adventure).
