Welcome!

The Pawtuxet Village Association (PVA) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) community organization dedicated to protecting and preserving the structures, community, and history of the National Historic District. Pawtuxet Village encompasses sections of Warwick and Cranston and is unique in its bi-city relationship. 

Incorporated in 1976, the PVA is comprised of volunteers who generously donate their time in maintaining stewardship of the historic elements and news of the district, including

• the creation of our newspaper, The Bridge; 
• maintenance and planting of Pawtuxet Park, the bridge flower boxes, and the island garden at Post Road and Narragansett Parkway; 
• providing flags and wreaths to seasonally decorate the community; and
• honoring the holidays with a community celebration and lighting of the tree in Pawtuxet Park.

We invite you to explore our site to learn more about the PVA's efforts and how you could become a member!
