57. GHOST TOWN: Hanton City

from Weird Island · host sara elizabeth corben

In Smithfield, Rhode Island, out in the middle of the woods, there are the remains of an old village that disappeared over 100 years ago. A ghost town known as Hanton City, sometimes called Haunted City or the Lost City.  To Visit: Walk the Hanton City Hiking Trail, starting from 70 W. Reservoir Rd in Smithfield. About 3/4 of a mile or so in (I didn't map it exactly) you'll see the remains of an old cellar on your right in a clearing. This is my last episode before a little summer break. Thank you to everyone who continues to listen and support me on this little podcasting journey! It truly means the world to me. Episode Source MaterialRemembering Smithfield: Sketches of Apple ValleyHanton City, Rhode IslandThe Diary of Thomas Vernon: A Loyalist, Banished from Newport by the Rhode Island General Assembly 1776Are There Ghosts in Smithfield's “Haunted City?”Benjamin Harrington, of Providence (c.1618 - 1694) - GenealogyThey Live Alone in Ghost Towns - The New York TimesGhost Towns - Why do we love abandoned places?Ghost town - WikipediaWilliam Harrington or HerringtonHerendeen Descendants ReportTown of Smithfield HistoryHistoricandArchitectural Resources of Smithfield, Rhode Island:Hanton City Road Area -... - Greater Rhode Island Roaming | FacebookThe Early Records of the Town of Providence
