Tiverton Four Corners

Tiverton Four Corners could technically be described as simply a four-way intersection in the town of Tiverton, Rhode Island. But in reality it’s much more than that description implies. Art galleries, clothing and home stores, eateries, historic sites, and independent businesses housed in preserved 18th century buildings cluster around the eponymous corners to create a laid-back yet upscale destination. Stop at Provender (located in a building constructed by a descendant of a child born on the Mayflower) for a gourmet sandwiches, or Gray’s across the street for homemade ice cream.

If you time your visit right, you can attend one of the summer festivals held here.
