The Chace-Cory House, an early 18th-century house museum located at Tiverton Four Corners, has commenced its summer season, offering guided tours and special exhibits that emphasize the community's colonial and military history. The museum, which serves as the headquarters for the Tiverton Historical Society, is open for tours from 2 to 4:30 p.m. throughout the summer.
