Founded in 1822, the Society is the fourth oldest state historical society in the United States (after the Massachusetts Historical Society, New York Historical Society, and Maine Historical Society). The Rhode Island Historical Society was founded and supported by many early Rhode Island luminaries, including Moses Brown and Henry J. Steere.
