Charting History is a traveling panel exhibition that tells one cohesive, chronological, and thematic narrative of Rhode Island’s history. It follows the major threads of commerce, conflict, and conscience to tell the stories of RI and the people who have lived here throughout history up to the present-day. This exhibit is designed to introduce visitors to Rhode Island’s rich and varied past.

This exhibition, a joint project of the Newport Historical Society and the Rhode Island Historical Societt, was made possible by a grant from the Alletta Morris McBean Charitable Trust.
