About Friends of Tiverton Four Corners:
Tiverton Four Corners is a historic district encompassing the main village center of Tiverton, Rhode Island. The district extends along Main Road north and south from its junction with East and West Roads. The 50-acre (20 ha) area includes a number of predominantly 18th and early 19th-century houses, as well as the 1868 Union Public Library and mill-related resources at the Mill Pond which lies just southeast of the main intersection. The area was among the first to be laid out by English settlers in the late 17th century. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The Four Corners Art Center is a Rhode Island non-profit corporation founded in 1993. Their mission is to promote the arts at Tiverton Four Corners and the surrounding Coastal Village communities. The Center is located in the historic Soule-Seabury House, built c. 1800. The site includes over an acre of landscaped grounds which are used for exhibits, concerts, outdoor dance, sculpture, theater, and a variety of other special events. The Tiverton Four Corners Merchant's Association is focused on community-building goals for the future of the town center including promoting arts awareness, enhancing community participation, and keeping up with cosmetic improvements to the area.
