Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor - Woonsocket, Rhode Island

The Blackstone River runs from Worcester, MA to Providence, RI. Its waters powered the Slater Mill in Pawtucket, RI, America's first successful textile mill. This creative spark began the nation's transformation from Farm to Factory. Today, the Blackstone River Valley is a special type of National Park -- a living landscape containing thousands of natural and historic treasures.
