Ranger Walkabout: Swords, Scythes and Slave Cloth
June 15, 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
How were workers in the Blackstone Valley affected by the Civil War? Explore the connections between the mill villages of Slatersville and Forestdale and the American South during this walkabout. Presented in partnership with the North Smithfield Heritage Association.
So… WHAT’S A RANGER WALKABOUT, ANYWAY?
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
