The Horn Heap


Golf is sometimes referred to as "a good walk, spoiled". At the Exeter Country Club, it also may be a missed history lesson! 

What was "Horn Heap"?

This sign, was erected by the State in 1932 and is located between the 7th and 8th fairways. Standing alongside a carved rock, it is all that remains of the land deal between English settlers and Narragansett sachems called the Pettaquamscutt Purchase.


Gary Boden takes us back in history to tell the tale of Horn Heap and the
Pettaquamscutt Purchase.
