A bronze statue called "The Independent Man" stands proudly atop of Rhode Island's Capitol building, the perfect sentinel for the city that he overlooks.  Long a haven for those with vision, Providence has always been a city that thinks for itself.

Providence, Rhode Island seamlessly blends the urban sophistication of a big city with the graceful charm of a small town.  Sightseers leisurely glide in gondolas on the Providence River, past gleaming office buildings.  Cobblestone streets lead to some of the finest restaurants in the country.  This unique mix once made Providence the star of its own self-titled television show and continues to entice thousands of visitors annually.
