Ten brave souls stood in the rain Saturday to learn about the history, the ecology and what makes Mary’s Creek so unique. The Warwick Wildlife and Conservation Commission’s presentation included information about the use of Mary’s Creek during prohibition as an area to unload contraband liquor at high tide, and the use and sale of thatch lots (plats of salt marsh that were sold and used as animal feed.) In this picture, Chair Anne Holst and Commissioner Wayne Cabral share information with a visitor, before the heavy rains came. The next Unique Area Tour will be held Saturday, May 13 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Greene’s River (on the bridge on Forge Road before The Safe House Restaurant.) Future tours include Mill Creek on May 20 and Clouds Hill Arboretum on May 27. Stop by anytime between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. (Photo courtesy of Susan Cabeceiras)

History interests me. I've lived in Warwick for 40 years and have never heard of Mary's Creek or seen that sign.
I wish the description provided basic facts.....like where it is located.

Sir,
Mary's Creek is close to the Crow's nest. Drive up Staples Ave. and stay to your right. Take the first right once you get on Staples....down a very steep hill.
