City of Providence Independence Trail - follow the Green Line

The City of Providence recently unveiled its newest historical attribute.


It's a three-mile long trail marked by a green line painted on the sidewalk that includes stops at 75 different historical locations.

"It's a circle. It goes from Memorial Boulevard to Roger Williams Baptist Church, to the Old State House, the new State House, down onto Capitol Center, to Kennedy Plaza, through the Financial District to where Lincoln spoke..." said Trail Founder Robert Burke.


Call (401) 441-6401 to listen to points of interest along the trail.

See Providence Independence Trail for more details.
