One hundred years ago in the dining room of the Hearthside House in the Town of Lincoln the Metropolitan Park Commission of Rhode Island authorized the purchase of Rhode Island's first state park on President Abraham Lincoln's 100th birthday, February 12, 1909. Since that day, the Rhode Island's Division of Parks & Recreation has evolved from a visionary plan to a statewide network of historic and magnificent green spaces and greenways devoted to the public enjoyment of the outdoors.
