Levi H. Gale House

The Levi H. Gale House is a historic house at 85 Touro Street in Newport, Rhode Island, United States. Russell Warren designed the house, which was built in 1835 for attorney Levi Gale. In 1925–26 the building was moved from its original location on Washington Square because of the erection of the Courthouse. By direction of the Rhode Island General Assembly, the Abraham Touro Fund paid to move the building and preserve it for use as a Jewish Community Center. The house is now located at the corner of Touro and Division Street. The Levi Gale House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 and continues to be used as a Jewish community center.

Little Neck Cemetery

The Little Neck Cemetery is a historic cemetery off Read Street in East Providence, Rhode Island, United States. The cemetery was founded in 1655, when the area was part of Rehoboth, Massachusetts, and is one of the oldest colonial cemeteries in Rhode Island. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Famous and historical burials Little Neck Cemetery is a historical and cultural resource of much importance. It contains the gravestones of people who have played an important part in the history of East Providence and other American societies. The oldest recorded burial is that of John Brown, Jr. (who died 1662), son of the man who purchased Wannamoisett from the Wampanoag Indians. The gravestone of Elizabeth Tilley Howland (died 1687) is also there. Howland was a passenger on the Mayflower ship and was one of the original settlers of the Plymouth Colony. She died at the Swansea, Massachusetts farm of her daughter and son-in-law and was buried near there at Little Neck. Today her grave is marked by a finely carved slate marker put up in 1946 by the Howland Family Association. The most renowned person buried at Little Neck, however, is Captain Thomas Willett (died 1674). Willett, son-in-law of John Brown of Wannamoisett, settled in what is currently East Providence in a house that was located on Willett Avenue (now the site of the Willett Arms Apartments). He is noted for serving as the first English mayor of New York. The Willett plot, surrounded by a stone-post and iron rail fence, is now marked by a large boulder put down by the City Club of New York and that also contains the original stones marking the graves of Willett and his wife, Mary, who died in 1669.

Meade Stadium

Meade Stadium is a 6,555-seat multi-purpose stadium in Kingston, Rhode Island. It is home to the University of Rhode Island's Rams football team. The facility opened in 1928 and was originally named Meade Field, in honor of John E. "Jack" Meade, an alumnus and local politician, said to have attended every home football and basketball game until his death in 1972. The facility adopted its current name in 1978, when an aluminum and steel grandstand was added. The stadium has undergone many changes in its history. The old field house was built in 1933, and in 1934, the west stands and press box were opened, with a capacity of 1,500. In 1978, the 50-row steel grandstand was erected on the east side, bringing the total capacity up to 8,000. Various other projects, including a press box expansion and modernization of the turf and scoreboard, took place soon after. In 2000, the west stands and field house were razed to make way for the Ryan Center. During the 2006 football season, a new set of west stands opened abutting the Ryan Center, whose east luxury boxes also look down on Meade Stadium. In the spring and summer of 2019, the university undertook a $4.1 million project that brought lights and field turf to Meade Stadium.

Meehan Auditorium

The George V. Meehan Auditorium is a 3,059-seat hockey arena, in Providence, Rhode Island. The arena opened in 1961 and was dedicated on January 6, 1962. It is named for George V. Meehan, the benefactor of the arena, which he hoped would "service and promote" the Brown Bears ice hockey program, which now belongs to the Ivy and ECAC Hockey leagues. It is recognizable for its large white domed roof, and is located on the highest corner (Hope Street and Lloyd Avenue) of Brown's main athletic complex on College Hill in Providence. Meehan was renovated in 2002, bringing its capacity up to its current level. Notable events As one of the largest indoor spaces available at Brown University, Meehan has hosted a number of prominent speeches and lectures, in addition to ice hockey events. On September 28, 1964, at the same time that he was campaigning to stay in office, U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson addressed the bicentennial convocation of Brown University, in favor of educational opportunity, freedom of conscience and the proposed National Endowment for the Humanities. In 1965, Meehan Auditorium hosted the Frozen Four ice hockey semi-finals of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). On April 29, 2005, former president Bill Clinton delivered a 50-minute policy lecture titled “Embracing Our Common Humanity: Security and Prosperity in the 21st Century” to a crowd of "thousands" in Meehan. Almost a year later, on April 8, 2006, Hillary Rodham Clinton, then U.S. Senator from New York and former First Lady, delivered a lecture on the topic of Women Leaders to a crowd of "over 3,000."

Memorial Hospital of Rhode Island

The Memorial Hospital of Rhode Island was a hospital in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, USA. History The hospital was founded through an 1894 bequest from William F. Sayles, a businessman and philanthropist who owned mills in Saylesville, Rhode Island. Sayles' son, Frank A. Sayles, decided to build the original 30-bed hospital with the funds. Throughout the 20th century the size of the hospital expanded greatly. The hospital was a 294-bed facility serving the Blackstone Valley of Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts. Memorial Hospital was a teaching affiliate of the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. Other smaller facilities are located in Quality Hill, Plainville and Central Falls. In 2013 Memorial Hospital of Rhode Island merged with the Care New England (CNE) Health System, in affiliation with: Kent County Hospital, Women & Infants Hospital of Rhode Island, and Butler Hospital. Closure On October 18, 2017, Care New England announced its plans to close Memorial Hospital, which had been struggling financially for the previous ten years. The financial decline accelerated after mismanagement by Care New England after they acquired the hospital in 2013. This was worsened by the creation of new ambulatory CNE practices within the traditional catchment area of MHRI that funneled patients away from Memorial and to CNE's other member hospitals. This enabled CNE to create a situation in which patient volume decreased at Memorial Hospital, which in turn could be used as an excuse to further downsize. In the summer of 2016, the maternity ward was closed. The hospital's intensive care unit was closed in December 2017 and its emergency room was closed on January 1, 2018. The building was transitioned into an outpatient care center to cut costs. In April 2018, CharterCare announced plans to purchase Memorial Hospital, but Care New England expressed doubt as to whether the hospital could be re-opened.

Metacomet Country Club

Metacomet Country Club was a private golf club in East Providence, Rhode Island in the United States. It was incorporated in 1901 by five Rhode Island businessmen. The playing grounds were, at that time, in the Rumford section of East Providence. The club's name derived from the fashion at the turn of the 20th century for golf clubs organizing in New England to select Native American names. Metacomet was a great Indian Chief of the Wampanoag tribe, a friend of the Pilgrim settlers of the 17th century who was later named King Philip by the English after he succeeded his father as leader of the tribe. The course was originally designed by Leonard Byles, but in 1924 Donald Ross was hired to re-design the golf course into the layout which now exists. The new layout was opened on August 7, 1926. Known as a challenging course with lots of character, it is widely considered to have putting greens among the best in New England. On September 30, 2020, Golf Digest reported that the club, recently purchased by Marshall Properties, was closing, as Marshall had failed to obtain a necessary zoning change needed to keep the club operating.

Miantonomi Memorial Park

Miantonomi Memorial Park ist ein öffentlicher Park zwischen der Hillside Avenue und der Girard Avenue in Newport im amerikanischen Bundesstaat Rhode Island. Geschichte Die Narragansett-Indianer nutzten das Gebiet bereits seit Jahrhunderten und Hügel und Park sind nach einem Sachem (Häuptling) benannt: Miantonomo. Miantonomi nutzte die Anhöhe als Herrschaftssitz, bis er von englischen Kolonisten 1637 erworben wurde. Die Siedler nutzten den Hügel als Wachtposten und erbauten 1667 ein Leuchtfeuer auf dem Gipfel. Während des Unabhängigkeitskriegs wurden Befestigungsanlagen errichtet, die zum Teil noch erkennbar sind. 1921 erwarb die City of Newport das Grundstück von der Familie Stokes. 2005 wurde der Miantonomi Memorial Park mit seinen 30 acre (12, 14 ha) in den Aquidneck Land Trust eingegliedert. Denkmal Die Park Commission errichtete 1929 einen Turm als Denkmal für den Ersten Weltkrieg. Am 27. September 2017 wurde der Miantonomi Memorial Park Tower als offizielles Jahrhundertmonument zum 1. Weltkrieg (WWI Centennial memorial) ausgezeichnet und erhält daher Mittel zur Restaurierung. Siehe auch National Register of Historic Places Einzelnachweise Weblinks Park Information
Miantonomi Memorial Park

Miantonomi Memorial Park (MY-ann-toe-no-me) is a public park between Hillside Avenue and Girard Avenue in Newport, Rhode Island. Indigenous people used the area around the park for hundreds of years and the park (and the hill it is on) is named after Narragansett Sachem, or Chief, Miantonomi. Aquidneck Island, where this is located, was sold to William Coddington "and friends" in 1637 by Miantonomi and his uncle Canonicus. The settlers used the hill as a lookout and in 1667 built a beacon on the hill. During the American Revolutionary War fortifications were built on the hill, fragments of which still survive. In 1921, the City of Newport received the property from the local Stokes family. Miantonomi Memorial Park's 30 acres (120,000 m2) became part of the Aquidneck Land Trust through an easement in 2005.[1] Tower The Park Commission built a stone tower in 1929 as a World War I memorial. On September 27, 2017, the Miantonomi Memorial Park Tower was named an official WWI Centennial memorial and will receive grant funds towards restoration and maintenance.

Narragansett Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve

The Narragansett Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve is a Marine Protected Area of the United States located on Prudence, Patience, and Hope islands in Narragansett Bay in the state of Rhode Island. It was established in August 1980 under the Coastal Zone Management Act. The reserve encompasses 2,353 acres (9.5 km2) of land as well as 1,591 acres (6.4 km2) of water adjoining the islands out to a depth of 18 feet (5.5 m). During the colonial era, all three islands were used for farming. By the 20th century, farming had declined and Prudence Island began to attract summer residents. During World War II, the U.S. military established a presence on the island and remained until 1972, when the land was turned over to the state of Rhode Island. It encompasses coastal, estuarine, and tidal habitats. The reserve is managed by the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management as a federal/state partnership in cooperation with NOAA.

National Museum of American Illustration

The National Museum of American Illustration (NMAI), founded in 1998, is the first national museum to be devoted exclusively to American illustration artwork. The NMAI is located in the Vernon Court mansion on Bellevue Avenue in Newport, Rhode Island. The museum's collection contains over 2,000 original works by noted American illustrators such as Norman Rockwell, Maxfield Parrish, J. C. Leyendecker, N.C. Wyeth, and others. The Museum has been closed for renovation for several years and its website does not provide a date for reopening. As of May, 2026, the Museum no longer responds to emails. History and location The NMAI was founded in 1998 by Laurence S. Cutler and Judy Goffman Cutler in their Vernon Court home. Prior to that, Goffman Cutler had worked as an art dealer and owned the American Illustrators Gallery but subsequently transferred her personal collection to the museum after selling items to George Lucas. The museum opened by appointment and then regularly to the public in October 2000 following a two-year challenge to gain approval. It is known for its Norman Rockwell collection. In addition to Vernon Court, the adjacent property on Bellevue Avenue, Stoneacre, is owned by the museum. The property is named for the demolished mansion and the grounds for the site were designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, and following the purchase of the site, it has been restored as an arboretum in Olmsted’s honor. The mansion was designed by architect William A. Potter for John W. Ellis. Stoneacre was Olmsted's first commission after establishing his office in Brookline. In 2016 the grounds, which include several Rhode Island State Champion trees, were recognized as a level 1 arboretum by ArbNet. Collection The NMAI’s American Imagist Collection focuses on artwork from the 'Golden Age of American Illustration', a period whose heyday dates from 1865 to 1945, with the end of the original Saturday Evening Post marking its ultimate demise. The NMAI features original art created by illustrators such as Norman Rockwell, Maxfield Parrish, N.C. Wyeth, Howard Pyle, J. C. Leyendecker, and Jessie Willcox Smith. The illustrators created images integral to American culture, ranging from the New Year’s Baby to Uncle Sam. For these reasons, the NMAI’s collection has been named the American Imagist Collection. Notable works by Norman Rockwell in the collection include Russian Schoolroom. The museum’s collection also includes many pieces of art memorabilia and artifacts such as Norman Rockwell's first paint box, Maxfield Parrish’s stippling paint brushes and a plethora of photographic materials.
