This is Providence’s oldest house and first historic preservation success story, twice visited by George Washington. It was the home from 1743 to 1785 of merchant, politician and Signer of the Declaration of Independence, Stephen Hopkins. Hopkins, his wife Sarah and 4 of their 7 children, second wife Anne, and her 3 children, and the slaves, Fibbo, St. Jago, Prince, Toney, Adam and Priamus, lived and worked here, through turbulent times in Rhode Island history. Learn about the white and black lives led in these 8 small rooms, now furnished with period antiques & family heirlooms.
