<BR><B><I><FONT COLOR="#CC0000"><FONT SIZE=+1>Tiverton</FONT></FONT></I></B>
is the first village on Long Island after crossing Petite Passage from
the mainland. It was settled in 1785 and first called Petite Passage. It
received the name <I>Tiverton</I> from the borough in England. The village's
claim to fame is the world famous <B><I><A HREF="balrock2.htm">Balancing
Rock</A></I></B>. This is an unusual structure consisting of a column of
basalt standing straight in the air, balancing on only a tiny portion of
its end.
<P><B><I><FONT COLOR="#CC0000"><FONT SIZE=+1>Central Grove</FONT></FONT></I></B>
is located in the middle of Long Island, between Tiverton and Freeport.
It is home to the historic<B><I> <A HREF="church2.htm">Central Grove Baptist
Church</A></I></B>. This church has a pump organ and uses kerosene lamps
for light. The village also contains a Provincial Picnic Park and scenic
Flour Cove, where whales can sometimes be spotted from the shore.
<P><B><I><FONT COLOR="#CC0000"><FONT SIZE=+1>Freeport</FONT></FONT></I></B>,
at the end of Long Island, received its present name in the act of parliament
in 1865. It is the largest of all the island communities and houses the
only bank on the two islands and a school; <B><I><A HREF="school2.htm">Islands
Consolidated School</A></I></B> teaches kids from grades primary to twelve.
The village is also rich in scenery, with areas like Beautiful Cove and
Dartmouth Point being excellent locations for watching marine life and
beautiful sunsets.
<P><B><I><FONT COLOR="#CC0000"><FONT SIZE=+1>Westport</FONT></FONT></I></B>,
on Brier Island, is separated from Long Island by Grand Passage. The village
is known for its natural beauty. Many sea and land birds rest and feed
there during migration, making it an excellent bird watching location.
Tall cliffs formed of basalt on the south side of the island and three
lighthouses to view make the island a scenic paradise. Westport was also
home to the famous <B><I><A HREF="slocum2.htm">Captain Joshua Slocum</A></I></B>,
