From the Archives: “Harrisville Weavings: A Verbatim Project” is a play depicting scenes from Harrisville’s history performed by the Harrisville Players in association with Tricinium, Ltd. performed in Harrisville in 2001.

The Archives of Historic Harrisville recently had the pleasure of talking with three of Dick and Mary Upton’s children – Dan, Kay, and Cindy – collecting some of their memories of growing up at 54 Brown Road.

Willard Richardson was an artist, a farmer, and a storyteller. He was born in 1917 in Harrisville’s Eastview neighborhood, in a house that had been in his family for generations. Willard’s grandfather was Moses Eaton Jr., one of the most famous stencilers in 19th century New England, and the house Willard lived in is now known as the Moses Eaton House.
