Although the smallest of all the states, at only 1,214 square miles, Rhode Island actually has quite a bit. Since it’s bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and has three rivers, water is abundant, and there are 8 beaches and ample opportunities for sailing. There are also 22 state parks within the 393,000 acres of forest land in the state.<\/p>\n

One of the thirteen original colonies, the 13th to enter the union to be exact, there’s also a lot of history to the state. From the site of the historical burning of the Gaspee in 1772 to the Gilded Age mansions of Newport, like The Breakers, the state has been part of America\u2019s history since before it was even America.<\/p>\n

The state is also home to some firsts. The first speeding ticket was given out in 1904, the first polo game was played in 1886, the first golf tournament was in 1895, all of these in Newport. And if you ever find yourself at the Flying Horse Carousel in Watch Hill, know that it is the oldest as well, built in 1876.<\/p>\n

Another thing the tiny state is also known for? Being the homebased for a variety of different movies over the years. See below for our list of some of the most interesting:<\/p>\n
