Sprawling mansions and granite buildings from the past are still at the center of Peace Dale village life, but the towns history is more than just a tale of a privileged few. The legacy of the Irish and Italian immigrants who came to work in the mills and stayed to build a way of life is as important in the community today as the legacy left by the wealthy Hazard and Rodman families
