Located in Exeter, Rhode Island, Tomaquag Museum is Rhode Island’s only Indigenous-led museum, dedicated to sharing the history, culture, and arts of Indigenous peoples. Through lectures, arts and educator workshops, ecological knowledge tours, and offsite programs focused on the Indigenous peoples of the Dawnland (focus Southern New England), we engage and foster dialogue that reconciles the past and empowers present and future generations. Tomaquag Museum is the only museum in Rhode Island to receive the National Medal for Museum and Library Service, the nation’s highest honor for community service.
