  • Providence Ghost Tours – Offering the Providence Ghost Tour – a nighttime stroll through College Hill where you’ll learn about some of what they call “Providence’s longest-lingering residents.” Also “Parasols and Pocket Watches: A History Tour.” It’s a walk through historic Benefit Street, known as the “Mile of History,” covering the people and events that have shaped the street, the city, and our state.
