This tour will begin with William Blackstone: his life story, the process of colonization, and the mystery of his remains. From Blackstone’s Monument, the walkabout will continue through a remarkably intact village of worker housing, past the Ann & Hope complex, and into the Lonsdale Marsh. Walkabout participants may use the parking lot for the Blackstone River Theatre for the duration of the program.

During the months of June, July, and August, park staff offer specialty tours at varying locations across the Blackstone River Watershed. These programs begin at 6:30 PM and are 60-minutes long.

Please wear comfortable footwear and bring water. Most tours are outside and often include walking on uneven surfaces on varying types of terrain with no access to bathroom facilities. Bug spray and sunscreen are also highly suggested.
