Ranger Walkabout: Arnold Mills
Advertisement
July 24 – Arnold Mills
Location: 690 Nate Whipple Hwy, Cumberland, RI
Unlike many places in the Blackstone Valley which preserve the legacy of industrialization, Arnold Mills remains relatively agrarian. Learn the story of an early colonial farming community which eventually evolved into a small seat of industry where tools and machines were manufactured in the nineteenth century.
MORE ABOUT THIS SERIES: 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.
