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.

are both small but very interesting. There are two in my home state of Rhode Island -
Tuoro Synagogue in Newport, and Roger Williams in Providence.

Thanks for the information, Gretchen.
I didn't know about the Senior Pass. I want one!
I just went to the NPS web site to find out how to get it.
It says "The pass can only be obtained in person at the park."

Is there one anywhere remotely near here?
Which is the nearest one?

Thanks!

Here you go!

Click on a state and you'll see where the parks are.
The closest in Michigan is Sleeping Bear Dunes up near Traverse City.

There's one in northwest Ohio - Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial -
that's not really far from us.

I have said a number of times now, and Ill repeat myself,

I would love to see the rest of the pics from her (Sara's) trip to the NP.

Thanks for pulling this out of the DH, Phred.

Don't forget, though, besides National parks, there are great spots normally right in your own backyard!

(And those spots are one of the reasons our backyard is where it is!)
