About itO of thesebuildings are of XVIII or earliestXIX Century date, while the remainderbelong to the early and middleXIX Century. The village has in the last sixty years lost many ofits older buildings, but those still e.st’ihg and included in theabove count are close to their original apnearance,well maintainedand in general requiring only a moderate amount of restoration. Allof the historic buildings in the district are of wood frame construction except the stone mill--the, last remaining of severalwhich oncedependedupon the ChepachetiRiverrunning throughthe viflage and uponthe mill pond and waterfall, which still do exist.

Some of the buildings of historical note and architecturalinterest:in the district are two fine frame churches, one built in m1821 and the other in l8b6; a stone mm dating from 18Th; the MasonicHill, in continuous use for its original purposesince 1802; the stagecoach tavern, built Ce 1800, which wan military headquartersfor the -

Dorr Rebellion; the Brown and Hopkins grocery store, built in 1799, rin businessunder the same roof since 1806--thoughtto be a record inthis country; and numeroushandsome,well-maintained old dwellingsexhibiting a sequenceof architectural sty]ss over a full century.

STATEMENT OF StGNIFICANCE Include Pereonegen, Dates, Events, Etc.

The village is important as one of the very early, and remain-ing, settled co’mmunities in this state; it continues as a town centerfor all of the sourroundingOlocester areaand distlays, throu itsbuildings, its history and its continuity. It is a visually attractive area which can, in capsulefon,, illustrate the history of the0 * entire state. -

I-. Like an its neighbors, Chepachethad a part in the phenomenal,u mushrooming industrial deveioent which took place in Rhode Island

in the post-Revolutionaryera and in the early XIX Century. It had- water to provide for the mills, of whidh a number operatedthore.

It was a compactly settled point for stops, relays and service on thestage routes running on by turnpike through Connecticut. Never large,Sm never overgrown in ugly fashion, it has remained an un-trumpetedbut

well known locale in Rhode Island and a point of definite visual- interest to out-of-state personsdriving through.

Iii Chepachethas producedits share of local, historically import-ant personages,among them being Deputy-GovernorDaniel th.ren, presi-dent of the state convention which in 1790 adopted theConstitutionof the United States born there; his residencedemolished in the1960t9. One of the state1s foremost-tattorneys,SamuelYoung Atwell,lived there and taught there the whO becameillustrious later--Ames, Clarke, Jencks,Metcalf, Manchesterand Browne. -

In 18112, teacefully prosperousChepachettook center-stageinRhode Island history when this small state was shakenby the "Don’War" or "Dorr Rebellion" that arose over quástions of extandedsuffrage - and of the dubious suitability of the ancient state charter1raised by a young lawyer-politician, Thaiias Wilson Don’ 1805-18%.He assembleda splinter party promising, a new state constitution andreceived, he claimed; a majority-vote. - t . -

8. Significance Continued. -

From this election emrgod the incumbent governor, Samuel W. King,

and anti-governor Dorr, whom King proclaimed a t’aitorous criminal--‘

calling out the state militia. There were a numbor of clashes, the mostnotable’ taking place in Chepachet,a Dorr stronghold; where Acote If illhad been encamped andfortified. VJhen three regiments of militia ad-

- vanced on Chepachetthere was only desultory scuffling, for Dorr andmost of his supnortets had prudently left, avoiding anotherConcord orLexington. Dorr later gave himself up, was tried and vindictivelygiven a-life sentence,hut in l8li was released;and in time-the reformshe had oromotedwere, in fact, incorporated into the frame of the state’srovernment. Acote Hil]. is still prominent as one approachesthe villagefrom the southeaston U. *S. Route Mi and is now a cemetery. -
