The Volunteer Thank You Party was a great success.

A Members Only Outing was organized by Jim Buttrick and Rosemary Enright. The group received a great tour by Pam Carr, a direct decsendant of Nicholas Carr, the builder of the Carr Homestead on Carr Lane in Jamestown.

A great time was had by all at the Pre Party for this year’s house tour.

The JHS Annual Meeting was held at the Jamestown Philomenian Library, Monday August 7th. At the well attended meeting, the President, Mary Heath, recapped the successful year and thanked all the hard workers especially the outgoing board members.

The JHS held a series of trolley tours to historic spots on Conanicut Island on Saturday, July 22th led by and organized by Jane Bentley.

Members who attended the Preview Party of the new Museum Exhibit “Jamestown: Lost and Found” curated by Jim Buttrick, assisted by Rosemary Enright were extremely excited and enthusiastic about the exhibit.

We celebrated Jamestown’s 1776 Battery with the Artillery Company of Newport, the 2nd RI Continental Line, the Jamestown Band, the Cub Scouts, and an honor guard from the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars.

Jim Buttrick set up a tour of Belcourt as an outing for a group of interested JHS members. As you can see from the pictures it was fascinating.
