Cole Farmhouse #USA1731 – American history within your reach
This review truly touched us: “We explored the history of Providence during the day, and then came back to a part of that history every night.” … “All of the touches around the house – the wall hangings, maps, needlepoint, etc- added to the historic aesthetic and gave us the opportunity to reflect on the privilege of staying in such a location” This perfectly captures what we hope every guest experiences at Cole Farmhouse.
Built in 1731, this home has welcomed visitors for nearly 300 years—from George Washington in 1790 to travelers from around the world today.
To our wonderful guests: thank you for sharing your stories, kindness, and memories.
Reading your notes is one of our favorite parts of hosting.
Long before Providence had cars, colleges, or coffee shops, Cole Farm was already shaping Rhode Island history.
It’s hard to imagine today, but for generations Cole Farm was a thriving working farm within the city limits of Providence, Rhode Island.
Built in 1731, Cole Farm grew into more than 100 acres of farmland, producing dairy, raising champion horses, operating a stone quarry, and serving the community for nearly two centuries.
Today, this remarkable property has entered its newest chapter—welcoming guests from around the world while preserving the history that makes it so special.
From pioneer farm to premier stay, nearly 300 years of history are still alive at Cole Farmhouse.
Take a journey through nearly three centuries of Cole Farm’s remarkable story:

As the United States celebrates its 250th birthday, Cole Farmhouse has a little friendly bragging right…Built in 1731, we’re actually 45 years older than the country. 😄Our walls have been standing since colonial times, witnessed centuries of history, and even welcomed George Washington during his 1790 visit to Rhode Island.Nearly 300 years later, we’re still doing what we’ve always done—welcoming guests from around the world (with much better Wi-Fi than we had in the 1700s 😉). Wishing everyone a safe, joyful Fourth of July filled with family, fireworks, and unforgettable memories. ❤️🤍💙
