Middletown, Rhode Island: Prescott Farm

Need a place to walk in Middletown during a visit, without seeing water? It's a little difficult, and may not be the popular option because of all of the views of the ocean and the bay in the area. Still, the Prescott Farm is a pretty good spot for a short visit.

There are a few old buildings, including a windmill, on display on the farm. The University of Rhode Island's Master Gardeners also use part of the land for some demonstration projects. If you prefer the land to be a bit more wild, there's a small forest adjoining the display area that has a nice walking path. Just be prepared for some wet spots for your feet along the way.

Prescott Farm is located on the the West Main Road in Middletown, which is the major route for those heading to Newport. It's not a big attraction, but a pleasant one.
