Whipple, Rhode Island Ghost Town

You’ll find Rhode Island’s Whipple ghost town centered around abandoned marble quarries that operated from the early 1800s until 1938. The settlement, established by John Whipple’s family in 1658, thrived as a quarrying community until labor disputes, accidents, and reported supernatural occurrences drove residents away. The area now features crumbling foundations, flooded quarry pits, and the historic Whipple-Jenckes House. Local folklore and archaeological evidence reveal a deeper story of this once-bustling New England settlement.
