The United Train of Artillery of Rhode Island is a non-profit educational organization depicting life as an artillery unit during the early years of the American Revolution.  The re-creation of the uniforms, artillery pieces, and associated equipment were a result of careful research of the organization’s history.  We are a family organization and always welcome new members.

• Parades / Dedications
