Midville is not in Cranston, but it is less than 10 minutes away from many parts of Cranston. Midville is one of the finest 9-hole courses in southern New England; it is $25 to play and $6 to rent a cart. Midville is a challenging course with a lot of intricate slopes, hazards, and angles. Midville is also a public course so it is a bit more casual than Alpine and Cranston Country Club. Tee times can be booked up to 7 days in advance if you want to be sure to get one, although on an average day you should be able to walk onto the course with minimal delay, if any.
This historic farmhouse, built in 1754, is on the National Rochambeau Trail and is furnished with period antiques.
This mansion was built in the late 18th century by the Spragues, a well-to-do Cranston family. The mansion received additions in 1864, and it has been kept intact ever since. There are tours through the mansion, and the suggested price for these tours is $3 for children and $10 for visitors 12 and up. The tours mainly focus on the history and architecture of the building. There are rumors that the mansion is haunted, but that is not widely believed. This is considered one of America’s most haunted mansions” and it is open to the public for tours. Around Halloween each year they also hold an annual Ghost Party— playing on their reputation and the home’s history of tragedy to maintain a building of significant historic value. Sprague Mansion is definitely worth a visit for visitors and Rhode Island residents.
