Foster

The one benefit of being a small state is that nothing is very far away. Rhode Island is ideal for weekend road trips because you can easily travel from one side of the state to the other. Foster is a small rural town near the Connecticut border. It's one of the smaller towns in the Ocean State, with a population of just over 4,500 people. While it is small and rural, it should not be overlooked. This location has a lot to offer its visitors. Drive across the state's only covered bridge on a public road. Swamp Meadow Covered Bridge spans 40 feet and is modeled after early nineteenth-century covered bridges. This charming landmark, built by a volunteer crew from locally cut lumber, is well worth a visit.

On Central Pike, look for the bridge. A Bee's Buzz is a unique shopping experience. A Bee's Buzz is a two-story treasure hunter's haven. Look through antiques, vintage tools, jewelry, handcrafted items, gifts, seasonal items, fudge, and much more. This entertaining marketplace offers a wide range of merchandise. At the picturesque Nickle Creek Vineyard, unwind with a glass of wine. This winery specializes in handcrafted, small-production wines. Sip a Pinot Noir or Cabernet Sauvignon while taking in the scenery. The family-run business welcomes visitors with open arms and excellent service. The highest point in Rhode Island is only a 0.3-mile walk away. Ascend Jerimoth Hill without climbing because the trail only gains ten feet in elevation. Shady Acres Restaurant and Dairy is the best place in town for breakfast. Since 1975, this long-standing establishment has been satisfying hungry diners. This is the place to go if you enjoy a good down-home breakfast in a charming setting.
