The Jamestown Historical Society was initially founded in 1912 to preserve the Jamestown windmill. Since then we’ve added other preservation efforts – the 1786 Conanicut Friends Meetinghouse, the 1776 Conanicut Battery, the 1875 primary school that serves as our museum, and a constantly growing collection of over 40,000 photographs, archives, and artifacts that tell the history of Conanicut, Dutch, and Gould Islands.
