Site Visit: Tomaquag Museum

Tomaquag Museum

Join us for a guided traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) tour, one of our most popular programs. Hike around the Tomaquag grounds and, as appropriate, the beautiful Arcadia Management Area abutting our property. In addition to a guided museum program, guests explore Indigenous plants and discover their medicinal, utilitarian, and nutritional uses in the traditional life ways of the Narragansett People.

Organizer:

• Lorén Spears, Executive Director, Tomaquag Museum

Bring comfortable footwear and appropriate clothing for the weather. The museum is wheelchair accessible and contains many tactical items. For the TEK walk specifically, it is not easily accessible for those who require accommodations.
