Babcock-Smith House Museum

The Georgian Mansion (circa 1734) is the former home of the Babcocks and Smiths. The mansion is elegantly furnished with pieces reflecting the Colonial Babcock years, the Victorian Smith years, and colonial restoration of 1928. Historians and antique-lovers alike will enjoy all the museum
has to offer! The museum now includes a second building with exhibits showing the history of the Westerly granite industry which produced fine sculpture and monuments during the latter half of the 19th Century.
