Nine Men's Misery

Cumberland, RI

A stone monument in the woods marks the place where nine colonial soldiers were killed during King Philip's War in 1676. Their remains were later excavated and reburied more than once before eventually being returned to the site. The memorial is reached by trail inside the Monastery property.
