Blackstone Valley: Explorer River Tours start in Woonsocket this Sunday!

From a look at the weather...it's going to be a great afternoon!

Our tours on the Blackstone River in Woonsocket start this Sunday! From a look at the weather...it's going to be a great afternoon (sunny and high 70s)! Visit Woonsocket and experience a very different view of the Blackstone River while it flows under half a dozen bridges. Learn how Woonsocket grew into an industrial giant during the last third of the American Industrial Era – spinning wool, cotton and producing rubber products. The large structures made of steel, concrete and brick are a testament to coal, steam and water-powered machinery that provided thousands of jobs, supported communities and created a bustling and booming industrial city.
