The kitchen herb and perennial gardens are part of the Master Gardener site located to the left of the building.

Directions

The Hunt House Museum is located at 65 Hunt’s Mills Road in East Providence off Rt.114A near the Rhode Island/Massachusetts border at the banks of the Ten Mile River.

From the North

Follow Pawtucket Ave. (Rt.114) going South to the fork in the road where Rt.114A splits from Rt.114. Pawtucket Ave. (Rt.114) goes right, you want to bear left and follow Rt.114A which is now Pleasant Street. About 0.5 mile after the split, just before the concrete bridge over the Ten Mile River, you will see our sign on the right. Follow the narrow road into the park until you come to the Hunt House Museum on your right.

From the South

From Rt.44 (Taunton Ave.) East or West, take Rt.114A North (Fall River Ave.) Follow it a little over 0.5 mile and cross the concrete Hunts Mills Bridge over the Ten Mile River. Just past the bridge, you will see our sign on your left. Follow the narrow road into the park, bear left at the fork, and you will come to the Hunt House Museum on your right just before the Pump House.
