Old Man's Face

The Old Man's Face from the early 1900s

One of the most famous - and photographed - rocks from Rhode Island was the Old Man's Face. Lying in the waters just off the shoreline of Narragansett, I have been told it has mostly been destroyed.

Negro Head

Proudly staring out to sea is the mighty Negro Head. In these days of political correctness we might simply want to call it the Great Stone Face. But Negro Head (as well as one other less politically correct name) is how history has recorded this feature. On one piece of antique photography, the photographer proudly claims it his discovery. On another - it is called the Demon of the Rocks.

Located on the island of Aquidneck in Rhode Island.
