Rhode Island Red Monument
Rhode Island Red Monument, Granite monument with bronze chicken tablet in Adamsville, Little Compton, United States.
The Rhode Island Red Monument features a bronze relief depicting a large rooster on a natural granite stone near the town baseball field.
William Tripp initiated the development of Rhode Island Red chickens in 1854 by breeding Asian roosters from whaling ships with local hens.
The monument represents the agricultural legacy of Little Compton, which became a major center for egg and poultry production in the late 1800s.
The monument stands at the intersection of Main Street, Adamsville Road, and Old Harbor Road, providing easy access for visitors throughout the year.
The Rhode Island Red Monument gained National Register of Historic Places status in 2001, making it one of few memorials dedicated to poultry breeds.
