Roger Williams National Memorial
Roger Williams National Memorial, National memorial in Downtown Providence, United States.
The memorial spans 4.56 acres of landscaped grounds with grassy areas, walking paths, and the historic Antram-Gray House visitor center along North Main Street.
Roger Williams founded Providence in 1636 after discovering a spring at this site, which later became part of the National Park System in October 1965.
The memorial promotes the principles of religious freedom and separation of church and state, which Roger Williams established in colonial Rhode Island.
The visitor center operates Thursday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, offering exhibits, films, and educational programs about Roger Williams.
The Bernon Grove section of the memorial contains the original spring location that influenced Williams to establish the settlement of Providence.
