About this program
Join a Park Ranger as we discuss the "Remaking of the Landscape" around Slater Mill.
Old Slater Mill, America's first cotton-spinning mill, still stands along the Blackstone River, a reminder of Pawtucket's industrial past. But the landscape that surrounds the mill has been remade numerous times over the last 233 years of the mill's existence. On this tour we will use historic photographs, maps, and archeological findings to discover how this landscape has evolved from a rural landscape, to an industrial center, to a landscape marked by the effects of Urban Renewal.
Meet outside of the Old Slater Mill (67 Roosevelt Avenue, Pawtucket, RI),
