2024 Ely Neighborhood Performing Arts Series
Chairman of the Board of Parks Commissioners from 1907 until he died 1920, Edward Francis Ely left the City of Providence an endowment so that this and future generations could continue to enjoy our city’s Parks as sites of congregation, play, and community life.
