Hopkinton (Rhode Island)

Hopkinton is a historic town located on the south western side of Rhode Island, bordering the State of Connecticut.

The town has 7,836 residents, some small businesses, a few manufacturing firms, and many acres of protected and state owned land. Hope Valley, Ashaway and Rockville are some of the villages. There are golf courses, camp grounds, and antique shops that make Hopkinton a true tourist attraction. Many of the locals make use of Wood River and Hopkinton's pristine ponds for fishing, kayaking and canoeing. It is also home to Billy Gilman, the country singer.

Get in
Coming off of I-95, Hopkinton can be accessed from either one of two exits. Exit 2 will take you directly into the village of Hope Valley. Exit 3B will drive through the town of Richmond straight into Hopkinton. Route 3 runs right through the center of Hopkinton as well.

Get around
By car, I-95 and route 3 run through Hopkinton, so the town is mostly (and easily) traveled by privately owned vehicles. You may also walk around the center of town; unique shops and food stops are all comfortably accessible by walking.
