Miantonomi Park

Miantonomi Memorial Park, located in Newport, Rhode Island, is a historical site that reflects the rich heritage of the Narragansett Indians, who inhabited the area long before it became a colony. Named after one of the tribe's chiefs, the park's hill served as a lookout for settlers in 1667 and played a strategic role during the American Revolution.

Acquired by the Stokes family and donated to the City of Newport in 1921, the park was enhanced in 1929 with the addition of a stone tower that honors the sacrifices made during World War I. Today, Miantonomi Memorial Park stands as a testament to the area's storied past and is a cherished local landmark.
