The Chicken Lady - Gone

No trip to Rhode Island would be complete without seeing the work of the Chicken Lady. Located in Kingston just outside the campus of the University of Rhode Island along route 138. About 1 mile past the university on your left you will see a mailbox with two stuffed chickens. The owner of the house dresses the chickens up for holidays and special occasions.
