Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame

 The Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame was founded in March 1965 to honor the contributions of those whose efforts, in any line of endeavor, have added significantly to the heritage of the State of Rhode Island. Eligible membership may include those who are native born, those whose reputations have been made while residents of the state, and those who have adopted Rhode Island as their permanent home.

ortraits of inductees currently hang in the halls of the Rhode Island Historical Society Museum of Rhode Island History at Aldrich House, 110 Benevolent Street in Providence. The Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame is a partner organization of the Heritage Harbor Museum. Upon the Museum’s opening, inductees’ portraits will become part of a permanent Hall of Fame exhibit honoring their accomplishments.

ominations for future inductees may be submitted, along with biographical sketches and letters of recommendation, to any of the Hall of Fame’s directors.
