Roger Williams, a visionary and independent thinker, was warned by Puritan authorities in the Massachusetts Bay Colony to stop spreading his "new and dangerous opinions." Banished, he wandered the wilderness before settling in the spring of 1636 on land he named "Providence." Befriended by the Narragansett tribe, he founded a community where all people could think, worship, and act according to their own conscience, free from government persecution. To some it was a spiritual and intellectual haven; to others, a hotbed of heresy. Congress authorized the Roger Williams National Memorial in 1965, and the 4.5-acre park opened to the public in the 1980s.

One of the grandest state houses in the U.S. for the country's smallest state. Designed by the renowned architectural firm of McKim, Mead and White, noted for the Boston Public Library (1895) and renovations to the White House (1902), the majestic domed building clad in white Georgia marble was built (1895-1904) at the high point of Rhode Island's Industrial prosperity. Inside, a new museum showcases the Colonial Charter granted in 1663 by King Charles II of England. The Charter was first signed by a monarch to guarantee religious liberty. Atop the State House dome stands a statue of Rhode Island's Independent Man, representing the spirit of freedom of thought and action.
