Little Compton Commons
This archetypal coastal New England town square is actually Rhode Island's only town common. More of a long triangle than a square, the common is anchored by the Georgian-style United Congregational Church. Among the headstones in the nearby cemetery, you'll find one for Elizabeth Pabodie, the eldest daughter of Mayflower Pilgrims John and Priscilla Alden. Surrounding the green are a rock wall and all the elements of a small community: town hall, community center, schools, library, general store, and restaurant.
