The Gilbert Stuart Birthplace and Museum is a small museum located in Saunderstown, Rhode Island, USA. On December 3, 1755, Gilbert Stuart, a famous American portraitist of the 18th and 19th centuries, was born in the colonial-era house located on the property.[2] The museum consists of the 1750 house in which Stuart was born, an operational snuff mill, an operational grist mill, a mill pond, streams, a fish ladder, nature trails, an herb garden, and a Welcome Center and gift shop.
My brother has some of these roaming around in his back yard, they looked pretty exotic to me as I have never seen one before! They are quite friendly and stand still long enough to get some close-up shots.
Dinner is officially served: Lobster freshly caught in Narragansett Bay, then steamed alive and enjoyed with garlic butter and sweet potatoes :)
Rhode Island has everything a person could possibly want to settle down. Beaches and resort towns are just a short drive from a bustling urban city.
