Anawan Rock, Colonial landmark in Rehoboth, United States.
The large dome of conglomerate rock stands as a natural formation along Winthrop Street, reached through a wooded path near Route 44.
Captain Benjamin Church and colonial soldiers captured Pocasset war chief Anawan at this location on August 28, 1676, marking the end of King Philip's War.
The rock represents the complex relations between Native Americans and European settlers during the colonial period of Massachusetts history.
Visitors can locate the site by following U.S. 44 approximately two miles east of U.S. 118, where a small parking area provides access.
The rock formation remains one of the few physical locations from King Philip's War that maintains its original natural structure and historical context.
