It became clear to the Rhode Island Historical Society\, the stewards of the property\, that drastic action would need to be taken to bring life back to one of the largest\, publicly accessible greenspaces on Benefit Street. In this talk\, RIHS Executive Director C. Morgan Grefe will explore how the RIHS approached its revitalization plan and process\, known as “Putting Down Roots\,” to not replicate this historic landscape\, but rather seek inspiration from the past\, with an eye to sustainability\, climate changes\, and the evolving needs of our communities.
