MEETING

Monday, May 5, 2008 @ 7 p.m.

The Joy Homestead
156 Scituate Avenue (Rte. 12)
Cranston, RI

(The house has its own small entry road for parking and the Cedarcrest Nursing Home across the street serves as a landmark.)

The next general meeting of SNEADA will be held May 5th at 7 p.m. at the Joy Homestead.  The Joy House, property of the Cranston Historical Society, is a red-gambrel roofed 18th-century cottage which sits “side-to-the-road.”

It is furnished with period antiques typical of a hard-working farming family living about the time of the American Revolution.  On exhibit are a number of pieces of early furniture which are on loan from the Cranston Historical Society.  The house also has some important historical connections.

Our visit will be a wonderful chance to experience this once-common house type and see for ourselves the charming coziness for which these cottages are famous.
