WATCH HILL FARMS WWW.WATCHHILLFARMS.ORG
HISTORICAL RESEARCHER Internship Description: We are interested in working with a URI history student to document the history of the property on which our farm sits. This is part of an overall goal of preserving the history and identity of this agricultural property. This might be a wonderful opportunity for a student to get a few independent research credits or complete thesis or research seminar requirements. The Watch Hill Farm property has special historical significance because it was the first property settled by Europeans in Westerly. John and Mary Babcock arrived here after having eloped by canoe from Portsmouth. John was white and Mary is said to have been of the Micmac tribe. They followed the coast until the came to freshwater (the Pawcatuck River) and then followed the river until they came to the first brook they found (the Mastuxet); this is where they set up camp, spending their first winter with the local Niantic tribe. The Babcock family owned the property until 1927, at which point Marsha's family moved in. The two houses on the property date from the 1700's, but have undergone numerous renovations and expansions. The main house has been a farmhouse, resort, hospital, and now, a private residence. It is absolutely loaded with history. Lamentably, the history of this property has never been written up or celebrated. The role of the student would be to fill in the gaps in what we already know about our property's history, and to make findings available to the community. Duties would involve oral history research, including making contacts with descendents of the Babcock family that we know of throughout the Eastern US. It would also involve archival research in the Westerly town library would turn up some new information. We would also like the student to write up findings in a public form so that it can be known and valued. This would include publicizing the findings in a forum such as the Westerly Sun daily. Qualifications: interest in RI history; ability to work semi-independently • Hours Per Week: flexible • Wage/ Salary: unpaid Application Instructions: Please call (401)596-9027 or e-mail mafiske@cox.net. 55 Watch Hill Rd Westerly, RI (401)596-9027 • mafiske@cox.net To view this posting on RhodyNet visit http:career.uri.edu & click “Students” in RhodyNet Icon
