The Center For Reconciliation

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.
