Casey Farms

Dating from the eighteenth century, the Casey farm produces organically grown produce sold at a local farmer's market and produce from six other area farms. There are online tours available and events organized throughout the year. Casey Farms is one of the oldest operating farms in the New England region.

Davis Memorial Wildlife Refuge

The Davis Memorial Wildlife Refuge offers hiking above the Hunt River through wooded areas and wetlands. There are also points to launch canoes and kayaks to explore the wetlands. The refuge does not allow motorized boats in the wetlands. 

Visitors can watch for otters, beaver, turtles, muskrat, and foxes while hiking. Many bird species inhabit the area. 

Historic Wickford

The village of Wickford is one of the oldest colonial towns in the country. Visitors can enjoy viewing historic homes and public buildings while learning about the village's maritime past and the area. There are several interesting walking tours available to help visitors learn about the houses and the village's development.

Wilson Park

Wilson Park in North Kingston covers 49 acres. The park is a multi-use recreational park offering playgrounds, many sports activities, including baseball and tennis. 

There are boat ramps and free trailer parking. 

There are also short-cycling, skating, and hiking trails within the park.

Gilbert Stuart Museum

The Gilbert Stuart Museum in nearby Saunderstown features an authentically furnished and restored home built-in 1750. There is also a working gristmill, woodland trails, gardens, and art displays from the period. The museum is situated on 23 acres of woodlands. 

The museum depends on membership support and appreciates the generosity of visitors.

Basements Take More Time to Dry Than the Rest of the House

Many of our North Kingston clients express concerns about why it takes longer to dry their basements than the rest of the house after a water leak. All of the excess water has been removed. Only moisture in the air, moisture in the structure, and moisture in the contents remain.

SERVPRO trains our water removal technicians in Psychometrics, which is the management of three conditions –

• Humidity,
• Airflow and
• Temperature.

Warmer temperatures can hold more water than cooler air typically found in basements. Evaporation of moisture in cooler conditions takes longer in colder air. Drying the contents, including flooring materials and structures in basements, is less efficient than other rooms in the home at lower temperatures.
