Block Island is home to more than beaches worth daydreaming about, or local restaurants and eateries that leave you checking your watch to see if it’s finally time for lunch. It’s also filled to the brim with its own history. A fact that everyone at the Block Island Historical Society will happily remind you of. The past is packed with stories practically begging to be told.
What goes into making some truly great chowder? Is it red or white? Boston style? Manhattan? New England? All the answers depend on who you ask. Everyone’s tastes are different, after all. Block Island may be known for its beaches and Ferry, but not everyone thinks of all the places to enjoy a great bowl of chowder.

Famous landscapes and landmarks were the most common fare, but that’s never stopped anyone from using a photo of their own. In fact, one of the first postcards ever sent was a hand-painted design.
