Ever wonder what Pawtuxet Village was like during the American Revolution? A group of student from the area may be able to help.

On Sunday, a group of 65 Wyman Elementary School students, with help from other local students, will be giving a walking tour of the area. But they’ll do more than tell participants what happened hundreds of years ago, they’ll show a slice of what life was like, too.

Fifteen sites will be highlighted during the tour by actors –– students dressed in period clothes with assumed identities of long-gone Pawtuxet residents.

The tours begin at 1 p.m. in Pawtuxet Park in Warwick and take off every 15 minutes until about 3:30 p.m. Take a tour for free if you’re 5 years old or younger. If you’re between the ages 6 and 12, the tour is $3 and its full price -- $5 -- for adults.

If it rains, check back on June 1.
