EDITORS COMMENTS
Touro Park, Newport, Rhode Island, USA: A Historical Haven by the Sea Touro Park, located in the heart of Newport, Rhode Island, USA, is a picturesque and historic green space that has been a beloved community gathering place for over a century. Established in 1871, the park is named after the Touro family, who were early settlers and benefactors of the city. At the entrance of the park stands a majestic statue of Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry (1794-1858), an American naval officer who served in several wars, most notably in the Mexican-American War and the War of 1812. Perry is best known for his role in the opening of Japan to the West with the Convention of Kanagawa in 1854. The statue, which dates back to circa 1903, is a testament to Perry's significant contributions to American history. The park's serene atmosphere is further enhanced by the presence of a quaint steeple and the bandstand, which have been popular venues for community events and concerts for generations. The church steeple, with its tall spire reaching towards the sky, adds a sense of tranquility and spirituality to the park. The bandstand, which is surrounded by lush greenery and colorful flowers, has been the site of countless musical performances, from summer concerts to patriotic celebrations. The park's beautiful gardens, winding paths, and peaceful ponds provide a perfect backdrop for visitors to relax and unwind, making Touro Park a must-visit destination for anyone interested in American history and culture.
