A Town Rooted in History & Resilience

Once home to a gristmill, bobbin mill, and starch factory, Coventry has seen its fair share of change. The town even had a bustling train station with four daily trains connecting to Montreal, Boston, and Newport. In 1913, a devastating fire swept through the village, followed by a massive flood in 1927—but Coventry has always bounced back, maintaining its strong farming heritage and close-knit community.
