In 1890, Donald Dame purchased what is now known as Dame Farm from the Steere family. The Dames made their living from a variety of sources, predominantly dairy cows and apple orchards. In 1969, the State of Rhode Island exercised eminent domain, removing ownership of the land from the Dame family...
In 2012, the State of RI and the Dame Family couldn't come to an agreement on a lease. This caused the Dames to move their business across the street to land they had already owned. Which has been in the family since the 1840's. From then until now. every generation of Dames have lived in the house that is still on the property. We have a total of seven generations, four of which can be found on the farm today.
