Audio tour of Historic Odds, Ends & Other Curiosities
For this month’s Rhode Island Artscape, we take a visit to the State Archives in downtown Providence. The agency has unveiled a new exhibit dedicated to odd and unexpected state artifacts. The historic objects range from counterfeit colonial money, to the death certificate of famed Providence author H.P. Lovecraft. Rhode Island Public Radio’s morning host, Chuck Hinman went on a private tour of the exhibit with State Archivist Gwenn Stearn.
