Have you ever stopped to think that history isn’t just found in books and museums? We experience history every single day, sometimes even when we sit down for a bite to eat at our favorite restaurant. This diner in Rhode Island, for example, has written a long story that dates back to 1927. Since then it’s gone through its ups and downs, even shuttering for nearly a decade. However, one thing has remained steadfast for as long as its doors have been open. Jigger’s Diner has become a landmark in Rhode Island.
