Set against a spectacular backdrop of toys from our collections, the BH&PS exhibit PLAY! asks visitors to think about the seemingly simple questions of "What is PLAY?" and "What is a Toy?".
When planning your visit to PLAY!, leave time to take a few extra minutes to also explore our historic jail. And check our EVENTS CALENDAR because we sometimes have special guided tours of this exhibit.
The exhibit is open to the public on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays h 1 to 5 p.m.

The American Association for State and Local History (AASLH) congratulates the Bristol Historical & Preservation Society, of Bristol, RI, for receiving an Award of Excellence for The Timeline of Enslavement in Bristol, RI. The Award of Excellence is part of the AASLH Leadership in History Awards, the most prestigious recognition for achievement in the preservation of state and local history. It is the first time in more than four years that a RI project has been honored.
The Timeline of Enslavement in Bristol, RI is a 56 foot-long strip of fabric that lists in chronological order the names of those who were enslaved in Bristol, Rhode Island, between 1680 and 1808. All those identified occupy their own space on the timeline, regardless of how much or little is known about them. The approximately 600 entries represent approximately 475 enslaved individuals in total.
