Description

In Episode 332 Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger hike into the woods of West Greenwich, Rhode Island, to explore what’s left of Hell’s Half Acre. This small section of forest was once home to taverns and gin mills full of fights, gambling, murder, and more. This was once the Red Light District of the old New London Turnpike. Today a cellar hole and the story are all that’s left.   See more here: https://ournewenglandlegends.com/podcast-332-hells-half-acre/   Listen ad-free plus get early access and bonus episodes at: https://www.patreon.com/NewEnglandLegends
