Kennedy Plaza is modern Providenceβs main hub for transportation β as many as 69,000 people move through this site daily. Created as Exchange Place in the 19th century, this plaza has always served transportation needs. Thousands of people stood here to see President Theodore Roosevelt, Harry Houdini, and presidential candidate John F. Kennedy. Today Kennedy Plaza remains a gathering place for the community, anchored by three city parks, including The Providence Rink, which features ice skating, recreation, music and arts.

A stormy day makes one want to get away from it all. And what better way to get away then public transportation! Originally published in 2016 the Kennedy Plaza and Burnside Park travel book makes me long for a trip to downtown Providence. One Way! Swipe through, sit back, and enjoy! #bestofrhodeisland #kennedyplaza #burnsidepark

A Civil War memorial, the Soldiers and Sailors Monument currently sits in its third location, which is approximately the same as its original location when dedicated in 1871. When the monument was relocated to the center of Exchange Place in 1913, the height of the pedestal was doubled, from 5 steps to 10, and the cannon balls were separated from the canons. In 2001 the monument was returned to its original height when it was moved back to the west end of what is now Kennedy Plaza, but the cannon balls went away. Photo is circa 1925.

Kennedy Plaza is owned and managed by the City of Providence.
<p>Erected in 1871 and designed by noted sculptor Randolph Rogers, this 42-foot Civil War memorial in Kennedy Plaza is crafted from blue Westerly granite and bronze and honors Rhode Islandβs fallen. Four cannons anchor steps leading to allegorical figures of War, Victory, Peace, and Historyβthe latter represented by a Black womanβalongside panels listing the dead, including members of the 14th Rhode Island Regiment Heavy Artillery (Colored). Above them stand statues symbolizing artillery, cavalry, infantry, and navy service, crowned by an allegorical America. Inscriptions and emblems such as bronze stars, wreaths, an eagle, and the Rhode Island anchor underscore its commemorative purpose.
