TUESDAY, MAY 15 2001     Great Swamp Monument, off Rte. 2, South Kingstown, RI, (401) 789-4422. This is the battlefield where troops from Plymouth and Connecticut attacked and nearly annihilated the Narragansett tribe in 1675. The granite Great Swamp Monument now stands on the site. Nearby is the swamp, over which runs a boardwalk. You can often see ospreys, which nest on the row of telephone poles that runs across the swamp. Always open. Free.
