Gilbert Stuart Birthplace and Museum, Neighbor

The Gilbert Stuart Birthplace and Museum is situated on 23 acres in the woods of Saunderstown, Rhode Island on a beautiful millpond and stream. You will discover the 1750 home and birthplace of renowned artist Gilbert Stuart, operational waterwheels for a snuff mill and a gristmill, a fish ladder, and a colonial herb garden. Boat rentals, available to members, provide an opportunity to experience the pristine 57-acre Carr Pond. Our nature trails provide scenic overlooks of the pond and opportunities to observe the birds and wildlife on the property. Art exhibitions in the Museum's "Rhode Island Masters" series as well as original art by Gilbert Stuart are on display in our handicapped-accessible Welcome Center and Gallery.
