Just across from Aquidneck Island, on the other side of the Sakonnet River, sits Tiverton Four Corners, a quaint, functioning New England village with historic charm. The area, which was originally part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, but is now part of a countryside coastal region in Rhode Island, is the site of several businesses, art galleries and more. Tiverton Four Corners was listed on the National Register for Historic Places in 1974.

Tiffany Peay Jewelry is an eclectic shop in Tiverton Four Corners. In the warmer months, flowers bloom around the front porch, and birds visit the feeder that dangles beneath its peach-colored sign. The building is a former cottage with a peaked roof and brick walkway.  Peay sells jewelry, which she makes herself out of rare stones. For 11 years, she has headquartered her business in Tiverton, starting as a jewelry wholesaler and then turning it into a retail outlet.

Artist Jennifer Jones Rashleigh paints the waterline on on of a series of paintings in which she has laid down a red foundation for the ocean — an unexpected technique that adds depth to the final product. “I do this most of the time I’m painting water,” she said.

Located just across the Massachusetts border but feeling like a return to another era, the farming town of Tiverton, RI, is prized for its quaint collection of shops and galleries surrounded by gray-shingled homes, winding stone walls, old barns, and water views of the Sakonnet River on its way to the Atlantic. Driving Tiverton’s back roads and strolling its historic center, Tiverton Four Corners, you truly experience the “country coastal” Rhode Island vibe.

The Bothelos were looking for a business the family could own and operate and two years ago heard a cheese shop at Historic Tiverton Four Corners was being vacated. They visited, bought the establishment, named it The Cheese Wheel and have worked to transform it into a one-stop gourmet food shop that sells dozens of locally made products.

The scents of new cedar shingles and freshly mowed hay overlap with warm croissants while French café music wafts through the air. Pedestrians with shopping bags peruse art and antiques, then sit at a picnic table to chat over salade Niçoise and eye their neighbor’s ice cream. This is not the Tiverton Four Corners you expected. This historic village with farming roots dating back two centuries is experiencing a contemporary resurgence of arts and food that is attracting a new vibe, as well as new attention from visitors across the country. Though its relaxed pace is an omnipresent undertone, its cosmopolitan flair is a welcoming boon for local business.
