Members and guests gathered to honor the society’s longstanding commitment to preserving, sharing and celebrating Warwick’s history while looking ahead to a new chapter under newly elected leadership. The Warwick Historical Society announced its new slate of officers, including President Jennifer DiCostanzo, First Vice President Benjamin Franklin, Second Vice President Jennifer O’Connor, Recording Secretary Kimberly Lukas, and Treasurer Christine Stage.

A highlight of the afternoon was a stunning commemorative cake created by celebrity baker Vanessa Greeley. The elaborate layered cake featured the society’s 120th anniversary logo alongside several of Warwick’s beloved historic properties.
