"Smithfield Friends Meeting House built in 1881 is located in Woonsocket, Rhode Island and is home to one of the oldest Quaker communities in the area.
Rhode Island provided a home to many Quaker refugees in the 17th century and in the early 18th century a group of "Friends" started this congregation. Their original Meeting House, built in 1719, was connected to a chain of Quaker Meeting Houses that were built along Great Road. It was destroyed by fire in 1881 and replaced by the current structure." ~ Wikipedia
