Enjoy holiday music, cookies and wassail and get into the holiday spirit by visiting our museums. The Cranston Historical Society has graciously opened both museums to the public at no charge for several decades. It is our way to share some kindred warmth and welcome our visitors.

The Western Cranston Garden Club decorates the Mansion in a spirited Victorian-theme. Colonial-dressed hosts will greet visitors at the Joy Homestead -- enjoy colonial cheer and the warmth of the Job Joy’s fireplaced home. Commodore Whipple and Major Pitcairn of his Majesty’s Marines will visit the Homestead this year. Bring your favorite doll and share afternoon tea at the Homestead! Both museums – located on the historic W3R Washington-Rochambeau Route, the official National Park Service trail our French Allies marched from Newport to Yorktown during the Revolutionary War.
