Located in the heart of Providence, the Roger Williams National Memorial preserves the site of the original 1636 settlement. Managed by the National Park Service, the memorial honors the life and work of Roger Williams, who founded the city as a haven for religious liberty and the separation of church and state. Visitors are invited to wander the quiet, landscaped grounds to reflect on the 'lively experiment' that helped define the identity of Rhode Island. The memorial also provides meaningful context regarding the First Peoples who supported Williams during his exile. It is a perfect destination for those interested in American history or anyone looking for a calm, scenic environment within the city.
