Through a grand old iron gate on the grounds of Brown University's Heffenreffer Museum of Anthropology lies one of America's most important archeological landmarks: King Philip's Seat, a huge rock outcropping in Bristol, RI that once served as the "royal seat" of the Chief of the Wompanoag people.
It was here that King Philip held his tribal meetings at the base of mountainous rock, while the top served as a lookout. The rock remains unchanged since it was used by King Philip over 350 years ago.
