Revolutionary Heritage Byway, Route 114 and High Street and Veteran's Memorial Parkway are 3 of 9 signed byways within 30 miles of Barrington, Rhode Island.

Barrington was established as its own town back in 1717 and is named after Barrington, Somerset where many of the original English settlers came from. Barrington is not a very large town as it spans only 15.4 square miles. However, of the 15.4 square miles, 8.4 of it is land and 7.0 of it is water. Much of Barrington's history comes from the brick industry and small businesses clustered along the main street, which helps it maintain its friendly and comfortable atmosphere.
