Description/Highlights/Points of Interest

Shannock Road stretches through the towns of Charlestown and Richmond. The traveler is offered views of a variety of different landscapes such as woodlands, marshes and even a farm field bounded by stone walls.

Historic Shannock Village can be found along the byway. This village is historically significant as a small but well-preserved mid-19th century rural textile mill village. Throughout the 19th century, small mills were constructed on waterways of Southern Rhode Island. Villages would form as houses were built for the mill workers. Shannock Village is a good example of these villages. In 1983, the village was listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
