Bristol named one of North America’s most scenic towns

Posted

Bristol was named one of 33 Scenic Towns in North America by CarRentals.com, an Expedia company.

In the announcement, the company wrote: “If you fancy yourself a history buff, the sleepy town of Bristol, Rhode Island, will be your very own slice of paradise. Plan your visit around the Fourth of July and you’ll be able to attend the oldest continuously celebrated Independence Day festival in the country. There also happens to be over a dozen places about town that have earned spots in the National Registrar of Historic Places — including Blithewold Mansion and the Old Customs House, to name a few. Whoever said you couldn’t go back in time during your vacation?"
