The Varnum House Museum was thrilled to launch its new docent program by giving tours to over 100 elementary school students in East Greenwich, RI.
It was all hands on deck on June 2 when the new docents showed off our newly-renovated Varnum House Museum to the kids. As usual, the children showed great interest in the the rich history contained in our 18th-century mansion museum originally built and owned by General James Mitchell Varnum in 1773.
We’re looking forward to officially opening the Varnum House to the public on Saturday, June 18 (see full hours below). If you’d like to book a tour, then email house@varnumcontinentals.org or call 401-884-1776.
