Leisure Sales and Visitor Center Manager Elise Swearingen at GoProvidence met with Sowams Heritage Area Coordinator David Weed to talk about the development of group tours throughout the Sowams Heritage Area. Numerous tour operators in the Greater Providence Area are looking for unique cultural tour opportunities, and Dr. Weed is offering to provide up to six different guided group tours throughout the eight Heritage Area communities, including Providence. “Tours are a terrific way to introduce visitors to the locations and events from the 17th century that reveal the important history of this region,” commented Weed. “Once we make these tours available, Elise will help us contact the many commercial tour operators who come to this area so they know what we have to offer. She was very helpful.”
