Beginning Saturday, June 3, the Museum of Work & Culture will be offering walking tours of historic Woonsocket each Saturday at 1pm. Guides will lead groups along the banks of the Blackstone and Main Street, explaining how the river influenced the birth of the Industrial Revolution and how, in turn, the mills environmentally impacted the river.

This is a Rhode Island Great Outdoors Pursuit Event. The Pursuit offers great activities for children and their families to get outdoors for recreation, exercise, and good health.

The Walking Tours are also being offered in conjunction with Saturday Markets at Market Square. The Saturday Markets will showcase local vendors displaying craft goods, produce, and prepared food. The events will also feature games, youth activities, and live entertainment. The event will run from 12-4pm.
