Providence Waterways: Excavating the Layers of Fields Point
Sept 20 - Dec 20, 2021 in our Providence Journal Rhode Island Room
There's a little point of land on the edge of Providence which holds layer upon layer of history. Field's Point, formerly an island, gives us a way into so many stories about our city. Using artifacts, documents, historic maps and images, let's explore these layers together.
Guest curators Traci Picard and Dan Mitrovic represent Doors Open RI and Providence City Archives, respectively.
