Revolutionary Heritage Byway and Paradise Ave and Other Roads are 2 of 8 signed byways within 30 miles of Brenton Point State Park, Rhode Island.
Understand
The land on which the state park resides once belonged to William Brenton, an American Colonial official who moved from England to Rhode Island in 1673. He was the governor and deputy governor of Newport from 1660 – 1668 and resided at his estate, Hammersmith farm, part of which is now Brenton Point State Park. The land next passed to Theodore Davis, a lawyer and famous Egyptologist, who in 1889 constructed the “Reef”, a large, shingled mansion characterized by its tall chimneys, distinctive tower, and wide windows overlooking the sea.
