Four historic properties will receive a BPS plaque displaying the name of the first owner and building date. A new plaque will be issued to the house at 30 Walnut Rd. (Jerry W. & Cornelia Goff, 1902). Replacement plaques will be issued to houses at 170 New Meadow Rd. (Benjamin Drown, c. 1750, moved to site 1774); 6 Holly Ln. (Mary Eliza Dyer Carriage House, 1897 et seq.); and 84 Alfred Drowne Rd. (Walter J. Howland, c. 1900).

After plaque presentation to homeowners, historian David Kelleher will present a talk on the restoration of the Pomham Rocks Lighthouse, built in 1871 (At right). Exterior restoration began in 2005, the lighthouse was relit in 2006, and interior restoration was completed in 2018. The project will receive a Rhody Award from Preserve RI and the Rhode Island Historical Preservation & Heritage Commission this month.
