Cumberland

Cumberland, a historic small town that goes back to 1635, is tucked away in the extreme northeastern region of Providence County. With four distinct historic districts to explore, the town is a treasure mine for tourists interested in historic architecture. A 19th-century Greek revival residence and an early 19th-century timber frame barn may be found at the historic Metcalf Franklin Farm, which is located on more than 65 acres of property.

Numerous houses and structures from the early to mid 1800s can be seen by taking a walk or driving through some of the historic areas. Outdoor enthusiasts can go biking over the twelve-mile Blackstone River Bike Path at Blackstone River State Park, and at Diamond Hill, hikers can tackle the thirteen-mile Warner Trail.

The Plymouth Colony bought Wrentham, Massachusetts, which included Cumberland, from the local Native Americans and settled it. As a result of a protracted boundary dispute, it was later moved to Rhode Island. The town bears Prince William, Duke of Cumberland's name.
