'Usque' means fire\, life or spirit and 'paugh' means water. Just as hundreds of towns and villages are named by local Native American Indian origin\, you might hear us say that Usquepaugh is somewhere between Quonochontaug and Escoheag! Although that is very true\, it may be easier to explain that Usquepaugh is in the town of West Kingston\, which is in South Kingstown\, which is in South County\, which is in Rhode Island. This quaint town\, surrounding the Queen's River is located off Route 138\, 5 miles from Route 95 and 5 miles from the University of Rhode Island. Click here to learn more about the history of the property.\n\n\n\nDirections & Free Parking\n\nOur old-fashioned mill and property are located in a scenic\, peaceful residential area of the village of Usquepaugh. This vintage setting is not equipped with a large cement-slab parking lot or a parking garage to accommodate a crowd. Our vendors will be set up in our usual parking areas\, as well as three separate locations in walking distance along the Queen's River. Therefore\, parking at and around the mill\, as well as on Route 138 is prohibited. Free parking will be exclusively at the Washington County Fairgrounds (on the way from Route 95). Free shuttle buses will be running continuously throughout the event. The narrated bus ride only takes a few minutes\, with a drop off right in the center of the festivities. You may come and go throughout the day as you please. This transportation doesn't come free on our part\, but it allows us to respect our neighbors\, prevent traffic blockages\, and preserve the tranquility of the event...a much better experience for all. Take a step back in time...listen to the birds and waterfall and relax by the beautiful Queen's River. We are excited about more buses and excellent organization this year. For detailed directions & more information\, click here or call 800-7-KENYON.\n\n\n\nThree Vendor Locations\n\nAll locations are in walking distance\, are relatively close to one another\, and will have a mix of food and art.\n\n1) The Mill Yard (around the mill and pictured above)\n\n2) The Earthen Dam (by the waterfall and bus stop)\n\n3) The Deep End or Old Hen Yard (the newest festival area along the river and across from the earthen dam)\n\n\n\nMill Tours & Grinding Process ~ Saturday & Sunday / Narrated\, Half Hour Tours \n\n10:30 a.m.\, 11:30 a.m.\, 12:30 p.m.\, 1:30 p.m.\, 2:30 p.m.\, 3:30 p.m.\, 4:30 p.m.\n\nDoors will be open for viewing in-between tours.
