When did Roger Williams become a National Park??

That was the place Dad had to take us for the Sunday afternoon drive just to get out of the house, where we went to the fireworks on July 4th, and where Dad absolutely had to take us as little kids to take pics of us when the flowers were in bloom. Remember the big flower bed that was planted to look like the American Flag? That takes me WAY back!

It's not the Roger Williams Park you're thinking of. Not the one with the carousel and the zoo. This is Roger Williams National Memorial on North Main St in Providence. Here it is.

I never knew there was more than one. What I remember is all the beautiful gardens, a pond with ducks and swans - don't really remember a carousel tho.

I remember it. It was where I got brave enough to first ride the up-and-down horses Then later I even took a chance on catching the gold ring. There is a carousel there now, but I don't think it is the original one. When I was out for my high school reunion, we visited the Park, rode the carousel and checked out the zoo.
