Adamsville is a welcoming hamlet within Little Compton, positioned right on the Massachusetts border. The village is a prime example of New England's rural peace and historical preservation. It is most famous as the place where the Rhode Island Red chicken breed was developed, honored today by a local monument. The historic village center, with its classic general store, makes visitors feel as though they have stepped back in time. While the village core is slightly inland, the coast is just a short drive away. Horseneck Beach is one of the region's most popular seaside destinations, featuring fine sand and excellent conditions for surfing and windsurfing. Adjacent is East Horseneck Beach, known for its rolling dunes and expansive shoreline that provides plenty of space for relaxation even during the height of summer. The area surrounding Adamsville is defined by iconic stone walls, rolling farms, and local vineyards. A visit to Gray's Grist Mill, one of the oldest continuously operating mills in the area, has a look at traditional cornmeal production. The region is handy for cyclists and hikers who enjoy the pastoral landscape and the fresh ocean breeze drifting in from the nearby Atlantic.
