Description

Join the Rhode Island Historical Society on Tuesday, April 7th, at 2 pm for a member-exclusive tour of the Roger Williams National Memorial and Prospect Park. 

Nobody knows what Roger Williams looked like, yet his remains lie underneath a statue depicting him looking out over the city of Providence. And his aren't the only remains interred at Prospect Terrace. National Park Service Ranger Andy will lead guests through what was once Roger Williams's garden to uncover the secret history of his life, death, and legacy.

Accessibility note: This tour begins at Roger Williams National Memorial and includes a steep, five-block walk to Prospect Terrace.
