SUMMARY:What Is So Special About the Cranston Family? @ William Hall
DESCRIPTION:What did the Cranstons do to get Rhode Island’s third largest 
 city named after them? Why are streets and parks in numerous communities 
 named after them as well? Join historian Tim Cranston as he looks into 
 these questions and examines the extraordinary contributions of numerous 
 colonial-era Cranstons in making sure that Rhode Island not only thrived 
 but survived to become a state.\n\nFree and open to the public. 
 Registration is not required but those who register at least three days 
 before the event will receive an email reminder.\n\n\nTim Cranston is an 
 award-winning historian and author who can trace his Rhode Island roots 
 back to 1637 when his ancestor John Cranston emigrated from Scotland. A 
 self-described “Swamp Yankee\,” Tim was appointed Town Historian of 
 North Kingstown\, and his weekly column\, “The View from Swamptown\,” 
 ran for over twenty years in the South County Independent.  Swamptown 
 Enterprises\, Tim’s non-profit corporation\, has garnered education and 
 advocacy awards\, and he’s been recognized frequently for his tireless 
 preservation efforts.
