A visit to the town of Charleston, RI is not complete without a stop at the Umbrella Factory where you will find 8 whimsical (or in my mind funky) shops, gardens and members of the poultry family.

Magical place. We loved not only the fun shops along the path/walk but also the gardens and bamboo forest. Must go

Not at all what was expected. All it had was a few shops of hippie ware. The interesting one was closed. I only saw 1 goat, 1 emu, and a few chickens. The bamboo forest is the only thing worth seeing.
