Roger Williams is the most written-about 17th-century colonist. Mary, however, was the head of the Williams household. Throughout almost half a century of marriage, Mary alone made many of the decisions for her family and the wider community, as her husband traveled far and wide.

Join Professor Charlotte Carrington-Farmer and National Park Service Ranger Andrew Schnetzer on Saturday, September 12 at 11am for a two-hour tour of the Providence that Mary Williams knew. This walking tour begins at the Rhode Island Historical Society’s John Brown House to view the Mary Williams & 17th Century Rhode Island exhibit, followed by stops at Roger Williams National Memorial and Prospect Terrace. Advance registration is highly recommended as this tour, which covers hilly terrain, will sell out.

Comfortable shoes recommended for this approx. 1.3-mile tour.

Tickets cost $15 for general admission and $10 for RIHS members.

Roger Williams es el colono del siglo XVII sobre el que más se ha escrito. Sin embargo, Mary era la cabeza del hogar Williams. A lo largo de casi medio siglo de matrimonio, Mary sola tomó muchas de las decisiones para su familia y la comunidad en general, mientras su esposo viajaba por todas partes.

Únase a la profesora Charlotte Carrington-Farmer y al guardabosques del Servicio de Parques Nacionales Andrew Schnetzer el sábado 12 de septiembre a las 11 a.m. para un recorrido de dos horas por la Providence que Mary Williams conoció. Este recorrido a pie comienza en la Casa John Brown de la Sociedad Histórica de Rhode Island para ver la exhibición Mary Williams & 17th Century Rhode Island, seguido de paradas en el Monumento Nacional Roger Williams y Prospect Terrace. Se recomienda encarecidamente la inscripción anticipada ya que este recorrido, que cubre terreno montañoso, se agotará.

Se recomiendan zapatos cómodos para este recorrido de aproximadamente 1.3 millas.

Las entradas cuestan $15 para la admisión general y $10 para miembros de RIHS.
