———

“Spell Hall" was the homestead of Nathanael Greene, a Rhode Island native and Major General in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. Due to his bookish intelligence and straightforward leadership, Greene quickly rose in the ranks of the nascent American Army and by war's end, was George Washington's most trusted general and the hero of the American South.

General Greene's former home in Coventry, Rhode Island, still exists. It was thoughtfully restored, turned into a museum, and can be visited today. Come see why Nathanael Greene's Spell Hall is considered the "Mount Vernon of Rhode Island."
