Thank you to all who lit a candle this season. Special thanks to Julie Fuller and the National Hotel for lighting their windows with candles and donating the funds to our Historical Society.

Your support will help sponsor our Thursday night programs this summer. By keeping these programs free and open to all, we can ensure that more people connect with Block Island’s fascinating past and vibrant stories.
