Providence Athenaeum

Providence Athenaeum es una de las bibliotecas mantenidas por sus miembros más viejas de todo el país, y sirve como tal desde 1753 (aunque el edificio que ven hoy en día fue construido en 1838). Según dice el rumor del siglo XIX, el poeta Edgar Allan Poe cortejó a Sarah Whitman entre las estanterías de este edificio de estilo neogriego. Algunas de las colecciones incluyen documentos y libros de la Biblioteca de Providence original, ediciones únicas de autores estadounidenses como Louisa May Alcott y Herman Melville, además de la colección Robert Burns, que cuenta con más de 400 objetos. En la actualidad, Athenaeum organiza eventos todo el año, siempre con el ojo puesto en la educación para grandes y chicos.

Universidad Brown

En 1764 tres hombres de Newport establecieron "La Universidad de la Colonia Inglesa de las Plantaciones de Rhode Island y Providence". Por fortuna, no pasó mucho tiempo hasta que acortaron el nombre a "Universidad de Brown" en 1804. Esta universidad es una de las más famosas del país y uno de los originales 8 miembros de las Ivy League Colleges. En el campus verán excelentes ejemplos de arquitectura del siglo XVIII en los patios Wriston y Simmons, así como también en el campus de Pembroke College y sobre Benefit Street. Si están en la zona de College Hill, cerca del Sports Complex, no olviden tomarse una foto con Bruno, la mascota de la universidad, antes de irse.

First Unitarian Church

Destroyed once by fire and rebuilt in the 19th century, this striking pale stone and wood edifice attracts visitors strolling historic Benefit Street. The Gothic-looking spire rises tall above this corner of College Hill, with its handsome black-faced clock, and the church bells can be heard tolling through a portion of the East Side. The services at the First Unitarian Church start on Sundays from 10.30am.

St Peter & Paul Cathedral

In 1837, the cathedral was established with the celebration of the first Mass. It is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence. The structure is made from brown sandstone and is a standing example of architectural brilliance. Inside the church, green marble is extensively used. Oil paintings and statues form an integral part of this church. The stained glass windows, depicting scenes from testaments, take you back in time. It also has the largest organ featuring 6,616 pipes.

Cape Verdean Museum

1003 Waterman Avenue, East Providence, RI, Estados Unidos, 02914

This museum tells the fascinating story of Cape Verdean Americans and their culture. Cape Verde was a Portuguese colony, located off the coast of West Africa, that gained independence in 1975. Men and women from there migrated to New England in the 1800s and onward, working on whaling ships and Cape Cod's cranberry bogs. They brought with them a unique culture—part African, part European—and have continued to have strong bonds with their mother country to this day. Their story is a fascinating one and this museum, the first of its kind in the country, tells it with well-organized exhibits and rare artifacts.
