Located around the corner from Pawtucket's historic City Hall and adjacent to a Veteran's Memorial, this old marker is nearly hidden by the trees that have grown around it.

The marker reads:

"RIVER AND FIELDS AT
PAWTUCKET

ONE OF THE BOUNDS OF PROVIDENCE
MENTIONED IN THE INDIAN DEED
TO ROGER WILLIAMS"

Williams is creditred with having started the colony of Rhode Island. See this Wikipedia link for more information about Williams: (visit link)
