 Episode Notes

In Episode 4 of New England Parks Project, I explore Colt State Park in Bristol, RI, and rethink how we frame the history of state parks. Do the wealthy philanthropists who once owned the land really shape our experience today? Or is there a deeper story in the landscapes themselves? Join me as I question the narratives we inherit and rediscover what truly matters in our connection to these public spaces.
