History is indeed the witness of the times, the light of truth

Marcus Tullius Cicero

The Block Island Historical Society invites you to shine your own light of truth by purchasing a candle in one of our windows. Let’s light up our building during these dark days and times, a beacon of history and hope. Each light helps us remember that the Block Island Historical Society exists so our time here won’t be forgotten by those who come after us.

Watch our windows light up with your donations day by day on Instagram.
