Ready to make the trek north to explore Burrillville? Chances are good it’s just shy of an hour’s drive – or less – from wherever you may live in Rhode Island, so you don’t need to pack a suitcase (unless you plan to stay at Grace Note Farm). Get into the spirit of local tourism with some B-ville goods. As you wear your swag, impress townies by knowing that the place with so many consonants was once part of Glocester and named in honor of James Burrill, a PVD-born Brown grad and noted Rhody statesman whose impressive career included serving as Attorney General, being a member of the State House of Representatives, chief justice of the RI Supreme Court and a US Senator. Who needs to go “Down East” when you’ve got Blackstone Valley?
