Parasols and Pocket Watches: A History Tour is an engaging tour of historic Benefit Street!

Can one little street necessitate an entire tour?  Oh, indeed it can!

Parasols and Pocket Watches: A History Tour was born out of tour owner Courtney’s deep love of history and storytelling.  Through hours and hours of research, reading every book she could find, and asking questions, the tour was formed in 2023. 

This history tour is anything but dusty or boring; it is an elegant stroll through time!  Beautifully costumed guides set the tone for this tour.  They do not drone on about dates; they draw you into the tales of people who came before us. Guests will step back in time and into the lives of a diverse group of Providencers, from 1635 through the 1940’s. Parasols and Pocket Watches includes loves stories, a mystery or two, and tales of those who overcame adversity. Despite centuries that separate us, this history tour will remind us that the human condition is timeless.

Of course anyone can walk down Benefit Street and appreciate the architecture.  However, for those seeking context and connection, a history tour is the key to enhancing your experience.  If you are searching for a history tour of Providence, Rhode Island, we’ve crafted a perfect one to help you fall in love with this breathtaking city.
