| | Preserve America Community: Little Compton, Rhode Island |
 | | Preserve America is a White House initiative in cooperation with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation; the U.S. Departments of Defense, Interior, Agriculture, Commerce, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation, and Education; the National Endowment for the Humanities; the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities; and the President's Council on Environmental Quality. |
 | | The town of Little Compton, Rhode Island, was founded by explorers from Plymouth Colony seeking to expand their settlement along the Massachusetts coastline. |
 | | The society, in partnership with the town and local foundations, recently rescued an 18th century barn threatened with destruction, moved it to Little Compton, and refitted it as a state-of-the-art storage facility for historic artifacts. |
