The Coggeshall Farm Museum is a nonprofit farm museum located within beautiful Colt State Park, preserving 48 acres of land that was once part of an 18th-century coastal tenant farm in the region operated by Wilbur and Eliza Coggeshall, the parents of University of Rhode Island founder Chandler Coggeshall. Visitors can explore the recreated farmstead and learn about daily farm life in the region's colonial era through a variety of live interpretation demonstrations and historic exhibits. Heritage-breed animals are displayed, along with heirloom and farm plantings. Visitors are welcome to get their hands dirty and participate in daily farm activities as part of the museum's hands-on visitor policy.
