Description

Join us virtually to celebrate the installation of "Three Sisters" RainKeep in the Casey Farm garden. Created by Allison Newsome and Deborah Spears Moorehead, it is the first modern outdoor sculpture to become part of the Historic New England collection. This functional work of art, which depicts the Eastern Woodlands creation story of the Three Sisters (corn, beans, and squash), collects rainwater to sustainably nurture the garden. These green practices honor the values of Indigenous people who cultivated this land for millennia.

The new addition to the farm landscape was dedicated on June 25, 2021, with remarks by members of the Casey Farm staff, Historic New England Team Leader for Collection Services Julie Solz, and President and CEO Vin Cipolla, and with music by the Nettukkusq Singers. The program was supported in part by the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities.
