The village of Rockland in the town of Scituate, RI was one of the villages demolished and flooded for the construction of the Scituate Reservoir after 1915. Keeney’s had been used for dances, movies, and community events during the very early-1900’s. A photo exists of the building.

The dance hall’s location was on Kent Dam Road, now called Tunk Hill Road.
The book “The Lost Villages of Scituate (RI)” by Raymond A. Wolf narrates the history of the post-1915 leveling of several villages for the construction of the Scituate Reservoir which provides water to the Providence metropolitan area. It is in the “Images of America” series.
