Description

At the beginning named Pleasant View, Misquamicut is a beautiful stretch of beach situated in southern Rhode Island. Court Bliven and his wife named the realm for its remarkable views. They built the primary cottage, known as the Pioneer, in 1894 and the Wigwam Hotel in 1905. The trolley came to the realm in 1908, and by 1911, there have been three major hotels, a casino, a village square, and 150 cottages. Its Victorian charm attracted visitors from all parts of the rustic, however the Hurricane of 1938 devastated Misquamicut and destroyed many of its photographs. Misquamicut brings together more than 200 vintage postcards, many very rare, in chronological order dating from 1894 to as of late.
