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.
