A Visit From Roger Williams Roger Williams
In Celebration of Rhode Island Independence Day
May 4, 2PM // Adults $10, 11-16 $5, 0-10 Free
So many folks say that history is boring. Not this time.
This talk is going to be very different. No power point, no slides, just a man talking about his life. It’s not often you will be able to hear from the founder of Rhode Island. Here is an opportunity.
Historian and archaeologist John McNiff will bring Roger Williams to life in a dynamic first-person portrayal. He will talk of the issues that drove some English from their homeland to a "so-called" new world, at least for them. 17th century English religion, politics, the very nature and structure of society was at stake. What was it like to live here in this so-called "New England"? Who were the people that were already, and how could Williams live alongside them as a good neighbor? What was the legacy of Roger Williams’ life work, and who is responsible for seeing that it continues?
Roger will speak for about 45-50 minutes and will spend whatever time necessary to answer all your questions.
Refreshments will be served. Preregistration is required, please call (401) 568-0544 to register!
