About this Event

Author Martin Podskoch will talk about his new travel book, The Rhode Island 39 Club, that encourages people to visit all 39 towns and villages in the RI.

The idea for the RI 39 Club began after Podskoch read about Dr. Arthur Peach of Vermont who in 1954 suggested the idea of an informal group, the Vermont 251 Club, to veer off the beaten path “to discover the secret and lovely places that main roads do not reveal.” As Podskoch traveled throughout the Adirondacks and Connecticut writing historical books, he marveled at the great diversity of villages, cities, rivers, lakes, mountains, and seashores. He realized that most of the residents of these states had not traveled as widely as he and he wanted them to explore their beautiful state.

This resulted in his writing two travel books: The Adirondack 102 Club and The Connecticut 169 Club. Visiting RI, Podskoch believed that RI would benefit from a similar travel club and had local writers describe their town & village’s location, history, and important points of interests.

No registration required.
