The North Smithfield Heritage Association will hold a December Open House on Thursday, Dec. 7 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Forestdale School at 190 School St. Visitors can learn from volunteers about this 19th-century, one-room schoolhouse, view local artifacts, and purchase historically themed gift items that include puzzles, Christmas ornaments, books, throws, maps, 2024 calendars and prints. All items highlight the town’s heritage. Visitors can also subscribe to the free NSHA monthly Newsletter or join the Association and current members can renew dues.
Persons who are unable to visit can shop online at www.nsheritageassn.org. All proceeds benefit local historic preservation activities. Contact the NSHA at [email protected] or (401) 376-2927 for further information.
