Goddard Park, a nearly 500-acre public park of state and national
significance, is renowned not only for its recreational amenities
on Potowomut but also for its history. The park was originally
Narragansett Indian farming and fishing territory. The land fell
into colonists’ hands in 1684, passed to descendents such as Tory
sympathizer “King Richard” Greene, and eventually served as a
private estate for Rhode Island’s famous Brown, Ives, and Goddard
families. Forest care was a pet concern of many family members,
including Goddard clan member Henry C. Russell who, “when walking
about the grounds … would fill his pockets with acorns and plant
them in holes punched with his cane. Three acorns were planted for
each oak … one for the squirrels, one for the worms, and one to
grow.” Goddard descendents eventually donated the land to Rhode
Island, stipulating the implementation of a permanent forestation
program.
Please hide exactly as found to prevent movement and avoid
