Venture Out to Mount Hope Farm [VIDEO}

Visit this wonderful oasis of nature, history and shoreline vistas in the southern end of Bristol.

With its 127 acres of fields, forests, flower gardens and beautiful shoreline, is truly one of Rhode Island's hidden gems.

The farm has a colorful history as it has passed through several prominent owners over the centuries, but is now open to the public under the ownership of the Mt. Hope Farm Trust. Visitors can stay in the historic Governor Bradford Inn and explore some of the scenic waterfront grounds which played host to the last battle of King Philip's War in the late 1600s.

Mount Hope Farm is open for the public to enjoy seven days a week from dawn until dusk.
