Tickets for a self-guided tour of Watson Farm where visitors can explore farm fields with grazing livestock, stroll along the shore, and view seasonal farm activities. Before European settlement, the Narragansett tribe occupied Conanicut Island, clearing the land and planting crops. The resulting grasslands attracted colonial farmers for pasturing their sheep and cattle. In 1789 Job Watson purchased a piece of this rich farmland, and for the next two centuries five successive generations of the Watson family cultivated it. Today, this 265-acre property is a working family farm. Return to Watson Farm info page.
