The Gilbert Stuart Birthplace and Museum by Walt Barrett ©2010

Gilbert Stuart was a famous colonial American painter best known for his portrait of George Washington that is on the one dollar bill. His home in Saunderstown Rhode Island, 02874, on Gilbert Stuart road is set on 23 beautiful acres with walking trails. a picnic area, and two museums. There are the homestead/Snuff Mill and the Grist Mill. Two water wheels, one for grinding corn and one for grinding snuff. Nancy and I spent one of the most enjoyable days in recent years exploring and filming this beautiful homestead. Do yourself a favor and take you children, or grandchildren to visit. Bring a picnic lunch and spend the day. You'll be glad you did! It's a lesson in sustainable living. Do it for the kids. Walt Barrett - Filmmaker
