Roger Williams National Memorial š³
āThis beautiful park is packed with historical significance! Not only is it the original homesite of Roger Williams, but itās also the birthplace of the American idea of "separation of church and state" āØ āUnlike traditional colonial sites in Massachusetts, this place tells the story of a courageous thinker who fought for religious freedom. šThe park rangers here are incredibly knowledgeable! They share vivid stories about how Williams was expelled from Massachusetts and went on to establish a new community here that welcomed people of all beliefs. š Listening to them gives you a whole new perspective on American history! š„The most impressive part is the preserved original site of the First Baptist Church in America, located at the corner of Smith St and Main St. Just strolling through the park, you can feel that atmosphere of freedom and inclusion šæ š„We started our two-mile walking tour of Providenceās colonial sites here ā highly recommend making this your first stop for a historical visit! #Providence #HistoricSite #ReligiousFreedom
