In Smithfield, Rhode Island, out in the middle of the woods, there are the remains of an old village that disappeared over 100 years ago. A ghost town known as Hanton City, sometimes called Haunted City or the Lost City.  To Visit: Walk the Hanton City Hiking Trail, starting from 70 W. Reservoir Rd in Smithfield. About 3/4 of a mile or so in (I didn't map it exactly) you'll see the remains of an old cellar on your right in a clearing. This is my last episode before a little summer break. Thank you to everyone who continues to listen and support me on this little podcasting journey! It truly means the world to me. Episode Source MaterialRemembering Smithfield: Sketches of Apple ValleyHanton City, Rhode IslandThe Diary of Thomas Vernon: A Loyalist, Banished from Newport by the Rhode Island General Assembly 1776Are There Ghosts in Smithfield's “Haunted City?”Benjamin Harrington, of Providence (c.1618 - 1694) - GenealogyThey Live Alone in Ghost Towns - The New York TimesGhost Towns - Why do we love abandoned places?Ghost town - WikipediaWilliam Harrington or HerringtonHerendeen Descendants ReportTown of Smithfield HistoryHistoricandArchitectural Resources of Smithfield, Rhode Island:Hanton City Road Area -... - Greater Rhode Island Roaming | FacebookThe Early Records of the Town of Providence

57. GHOST TOWN: Hanton City

Have you ever been to see a show at the Providence Performing Arts Center and marveled at the gorgeous building? Well, you might be surprised to know that when PPAC opened in the late 1920s, the theater showed a different kind of show–movies! I’m joined by special guests Lynn Singleton and Alan Chille this week to dive into the history of Providence’s Movie Palace, these elaborately decorated movie theaters designed to make the average person feel like royalty. And Lynn and Alan will share some amazing behind-the-scenes stories that shed light on everything that goes into keeping a historic building like this one open for all to enjoy. Episode Source Materialhttps://preservation.ri.gov/sites/g/files/xkgbur406/files/pdfs_zips_downloads/national_pdfs/providence/prov_weybosset-street-220_loews-state-theater.pdfPPAC History | Providence Performing Arts CenterLoews Cineplex Entertainment - Wikipediahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickelodeon_(movie_theater)Movie palace - WikipediaThe Theaters of Providence Part 2 – The Modern Era - Online Review of Rhode Island HistoryRapp and Rapp - WikipediaProvidence Performing Arts Center - WikipediaProvidence Performing Arts Center | Rhode TourProvidence Performing Arts Center in Providence, RI - Cinema TreasuresThe Theaters of Providence, Part 1 – The Early Years - Online Review of Rhode Island HistoryLoew's State Theatre, Palace Concert Theater &amp; Ocean State TheatrePolitics and Pasta History of film - WikipediaSilent film - WikipediaProvidence Performing Arts Center (Loew's State Theatre) | SAH ARCHIPEDIAPalace Theater, (Ocean State Theatre, Performing Arts Center), 220 Weybosset Street, Providence, RI“Playing the Palace”: A History Of Motion Picture Palaces - The CreditsMovie Palaces Let Everyday Americans Be Royalty | Smart News| Smithsonian MagazineA very short history of cinema | National Science and Media Museum

56. PPAC: Providence’s Movie Palaces

In South Kingstown, there’s an odd monument hidden away in the bushes off Tower Hill Road. It’s a four-sided granite pillar covered, from top to bottom on all sides, in a written inscription. And this inscription tells a story. But not one of a famous battle or prominent leader or politician or historical landmark. It tells the story of a gruesome murder that took place here.To Visit: Map to Koch Eye Associates in Wakefield, at 20 Hampton Way, Wakefield, RI 02879. Park in the Koch parking lot near the business’s dumpster. The monument is directly behind the dumpster. It’s in thick brush. You won’t see it at first, but if you walk to the edge of the busy road (be safe) right in line with the dumpster, you’ll see a break in the bushes where the monument is hidden. Episode Source MaterialJackson Was Murdered And Carter Was Hanged For It-But That Is All We're Sure About - Online Review of Rhode Island HistoryMemoirs of the Rhode Island Bar | Wilkins UpdikeThe Narragansett Historical Register | Volume 1 1882-3The Narragansett Historical Register | Volume II 1883-84The Narragansett Historical Register | Volume VII 1889State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations at the End of the Century: A History | 1902Literary Gossip, Criticisms of Books and Local Historical Matters Connected with Rhode Island | 1902South Kingstown Public Library Digital Collections | Hazard Diary 009Joseph Peace Hazard PapersMysterious Carter Jackson Monument, South Kingstown, Rhode IslandJoseph Peace Hazard: Rhode Island Spiritualist · Introduction · Special Collections ExhibitsMurder memorials: A grisly history written in stone - BBC NewsMurder stone - WikipediaThe Gibbet: A Disturbing Execution Practice Meant To Deter CriminalsThe Gibbet — History's Most Inhumane Punishment | by HdogarWho was Joseph Peace Hazard? | SKPL HistoryNational Register of Historic Places Registration Form GHanging in Chains - Harnessing the Power of the Criminal Corpse - NCBI BookshelfThe Incredibly Disturbing Historical Practice of GibbetingMemorials and MonumentsWhy Just 'Adding Context' to Controversial Monuments May Not Change Minds | History| Smithsonian MagazineWho do American monuments honor the most?

55. MURDER: Carter Jackson Monument

The history of the classic American diner started right here in Rhode Island. It began as something called a Night Lunch Wagon. But over time the diner grew and changed, following trends in the workforce, the American family, and food culture to become the uniquely American restaurant we know and love today. And one of my favorite diners around is Modern Diner–which also happens to be the first diner ever listed on the National Register of Historic places. To Visit: 364 East Ave, Pawtucket, RI 02860Episode Source Material: If you really enjoy diners, read anything by Richard Gutman: American Diner Then and Now: Gutman, Richard JS: 9780801865367: Amazon.com: BooksA Life Devoted to the American Diner | Arts &amp; Culture| Smithsonian MagazineNATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INVENTORY-- NOMINATION FORM NAME LOCATION tq.Modern Diner – Pawtucket, Rhode Island - Gastro ObscuraRestaurateur sues, wants shirt off Disney's rackRHODE ISLAND DINER SETTLES TRADEMARK SUIT WITH DISNEY – Orlando SentinelWhy So Many Diners Look Like Train Cars - Gastro ObscuraStreamline Moderne - Wikipedia.Hidden for more than 75 years, the origins of a Chepachet diner are being revealed | WJARHistory of Purple Cat Restaurant to be preserved by new owners | News | valleybreeze.comDrive I-95: Exit by Exit Info, Maps, History and TriviaFrom Hash House to Family Restaurant: The Transformation of the Diner and Post-World War II Consumer CultureDINER HISTORYWalter Scott – Rhode Island Heritage Hall of FameModern DinerHOW THE DINER GOT ITS START – Daily PressDiner - WikipediaWhere No-Frills Fast Food (the Real Thing) Was Born - The New York TimesRhode Island Diners – Where to Eat – Vacation Travel InfoFrom Chuck Wagons to Pushcarts: The History of the Food TruckFood truck - WikipediaTH Buckley- Come Get Your American DreamThe Transition from Horse-Drawn to StationaryThe Classic American EntrepreneurshipThe Original Lunch WagonsThe Masters of the Booming Lunch Car IndustryAppealing to the customersDiners of New England | Randy GarbinBluefield Daily Telegraph | April 1, 1987Clovis News Journal | June 22, 1986Today's specialHaven Brothers: Legacy of the American Diner – Food on a truck, man! - MotifPROVIDENCE DINER, 97, VS.

Here, in Rhode Island, they’re not only time capsules of happy summer moments, but museums of folk art from the golden age of the American carousel. To Visit: Looff Carousel | Crescent Park | 700 Bullocks Point Ave, Riverside, RI 02915Looff Carousel | Slater Park | 825 Armistice Blvd, Pawtucket, RI 02861Flying Horse Carousel | Westerly, RI 02891Episode Source Material: <ul><li><a href="http://memory.loc.gov/diglib/legacies/loc.afc.afc-legacies.200003489/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rhode Island: Looff Carousel (Local Legacies</a></li><li><a href="https://www.crescentparkcarousel.org/history" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">History | Crescent Park Carousel</a></li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crescent_Park_Looff_Carousel" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Crescent Park Looff Carousel - Wikipedia</a></li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Horse_Carousel" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Flying Horse Carousel - Wikipedia</a></li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_I._D._Looff" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Charles ID Looff - Wikipedia</a></li><li><a href="http://64nywf65.20m.com/catalogPAGE2.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">THE CAROUSELS OF CONEY ISLAND</a></li><li><a href="https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=141331" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Charles ID Looff Historical Marker</a></li><li><a href="https://pier-rats.com/charles-id-looff-a-level-above/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Charles ID Looff - A Level Above - Pier Rats</a></li><li><a href="https://www.kcet.org/history-society/when-the-hippodrome-was-hip-the-looff-carousel-and-the-era-of-seaside-amusement" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">When the Hippodrome Was Hip: The Looff Carousel and the Era of Seaside Amusement | KCET</a></li><li><a href="https://www.carouselofhappiness.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Carousel of Happiness</a></li><li><a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/dizzy-history-carousels-begins-knights-180964100/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Dizzy History of Carousels Begins With Knights | Smart News| Smithsonian Magazine</a></li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carousel" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Carousel - Wikipedia</a></li><li><a href="https://preservation.ri.gov/sites/g/files/xkgbur406/files/pdfs_zips_downloads/national_pdfs/east_providence/eapr_bullocks-point-avenue_crescent-park-carousel.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Crescent Park Carousel | Preservation RI</a></li><li><a href="https://artinruins.com/property/crescent-park/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Crescent Park | ArtInRuins</a></li><li><a href="https://fwmoa.blog/2019/03/22/a-horse-is-a-horse-fwmoas-looff-carousel-horse/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">A Horse is a Horse: FWMoA's Looff Carousel Horse</a></li><li><a href="https://americanhistory.si.edu/blog/lifes-just-merry-go-round-exploring-carousel-animals-museums-collection" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">"Life's just a merry-go-round": Exploring carousel animals in the museum's collection | National Museum of American History</a></li><li><a href="https://www.volocars.com/blog/history-of-the-carousel" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The History of the Carousel | Origins of the Carousel</a></li><li><a href="https://tjeffers.com/2019/03/10/carousel-a-k-a-merry-go-round/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Carousel AKA Merry Go Round – The Vintage Lens</a></li><li><a href="https://www.dailyartmagazine.com/carousels-in-art/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Carousels, Roundabouts and Merry-Go-Rounds in Art | DailyArt Magazine</a></li><li><a href="https://carousels.org/Carvers_Builders.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Carousel Carvers</a></li><li><a href="http://theantiquesalmanac.com/aroundtheworldofcarouselart.htm#:~:text=Carving%20the%20elaborate%20carousel%20animals,%2C%20Country%20Fair%2C%20and%20Philadelphia" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Around the World of Carousel Art</a>.</li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crescent_Park_(defunct_amusement_park)" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Crescent Park (defunct amusement park) - Wikipedia</a></li><li><a href="https://www.crescent-park-ri.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Crescent Park</a></li><li><a href="http://reportertoday.com/stories/The-Coney-Island-of-the-East-Coast,5466" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Coney Island of the East Coast - Reporter Today</a></li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brass_ring" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Brass Ring</a></li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Horses_Carousel" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Flying Horses Carousel - Wikipedia</a></li><li><a href="https://seewesterly.com/watch-hill-flying-horse-carousel/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Watch Hill Flying Horse Carousel - WESTERLY RI</a></li><li><a href="https://carouselhistory.com/andrew-christian-and-charles-w-f-dare/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Andrew Christian and Charles W.F.

50. SUMMER MEMORIES: RI’s Historic Carousels

Sometimes when I’m researching, I waste a bunch of time researching something only slightly related to the episode topic. Like the time I read an entire book about apples while researching the Tree Root that Ate Roger Williams. Today, instead of a regular episode, for each topic I’ve covered, I’m going to share one fun or interesting fact I learned while researching that didn’t make its way into the podcast.

48. WEIRD ANNIVERSARY: One Year of Weird Island

Small state, big on the weird! Weird Island brings you some of the strangest stories you probably haven’t heard before, all originating in little Rhode Island. Maybe you’re a true crime fan, but you’re burning out on the binges and looking to shake things up. Well, look no further! We’ll bring you unsolved mysteries, conspiracy theories, weird history and even some MURDER (no need to completely leave your comfort zone). Join us as we uncover some strange stories from the smallest state.

People began eating turtle soup in the 1700s, and they kept eating it through the early 1900s. Companies like Campbell’s and Heinz made canned turtle soup (and something called mock turtle soup). And it wasn’t just available. It was a real culinary obsession. In the early days, there would be these big, elaborate parties, called Turtle Frolics, where people would get together to enjoy it. Including a notable Turtle Frolic in Newport, prepared and served by a talented chef named Cuffy Cockroach. Episode Source Material: Reminiscences of Newport - George Champlin Mason - Google Books 1884 A Newport Rhode Island Turtle Feast, 1767 – AfroculinariaTurtle Soup: From Class to Mass to Aghast - JSTOR DailyThe Turtles of Philadelphia's Culinary PastEarly Recollections of Newport, R.I.
