Meet at the Museum of Natural History (map)

Museum of Natural History docent and archivist Richard Siembab will lead a special walking tour of the historic Williams family cemetery in Roger Williams Park. Learn exactly who is buried there and what those curious symbols on the headstones really mean. Richard, a longtime member of the Association of Gravestone Studies, will bring a wealth of knowledge to this often overlooked park culture resource.

Program fee per session: $3 per adult (includes museum admission); free for museum members.

Pre-registration is preferred. Call (401) 680-7221 or email [email protected] to register.

Please note: this event has been rescheduled from Oct. 27 due to inclement weather.

Thank you, RWP family!!! We may not have reached our goal, but all of you got us to over $7,000 – more than twice as much as last year! 🌳🎉

Whether you donated, shared our page with friends, liked our posts, or sent good vibes our way, we appreciate your support and investment in the People`s Park! A gift to Roger Williams Park Conservancy builds and strengthens social and civic connections in a public green space we all share and steward.

With @pvdparks and our Park partners, we can`t wait to show you another year of programming, community-building, and fun! 🌞

If you donated $100 or more, watch your email over the next week for an invite to a party celebrating you at the @rwpboathousecafe! 🥂
