[1]Added to NRHP: October 19, 2001 The Rhode Island Red Monument is an historic commemorative sculpture in Little Compton, Rhode Island in the village of Adamsville, Rhode Island commemorating Rhode Island's state bird, the Rhode Island Red.
The Rhode Island Red Club of America, a chicken breeder organization founded in 1898, raised the funds for a monument in Adamsville because the Rhode Island Island Red was first bred near the village in the 1850s. The sculpture was completed in 1925 by Henry L. Norton. In 2001 the sculpture was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
