The Paine House Museum is an historic house at 7 Station Street in the village of Washington in the town Coventry, Rhode Island. The oldest portion of this large 2-1/2 story wood frame house may have been built as early as 1691 by Samuel Bennett, who was known to operate a sawmill on the nearby Pawtuxet River. The house was significantly enlarged c. 1748 by Francis Brayton. His son, Francis Jr., was granted a license to operate a tavern on the premises in 1785. The property was acquired by the Paine family in 1866, whose descendants gave it to the Western Rhode Island Civic Historical Society in 1953. The house has been furnished to reflect the Colonial era, and is now operated by the society as a historic house museum. Visitation is from May through September on Saturdays.nThe house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
This place is absolutely amazing . My wife and I did a paranormal investigation with some great people . Old friends and new! We will def be back again . A special thanks to ken who is the one who opened to museum to. Also giving us a great history of the museum
They've done a great job restoring the house (and there's still more to do) and the guide was really nice and helpful.
It was history and that was nice, but I am not sure that our guide was that knowledgeable. It is staffed by volunteers and Paine House had o deal discernable hystory.
The Paine House Is A Great Experience! I am a A Member . You should all check it out for a tour.
