# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Family Ties and Industrial Bonds: The Partnership of Brown, Almy, and Slater – A Lecture with Alliso
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 29 Jan, 2026 at 05:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Samuel Slater was unknown when he arrived in Rhode Island in January of 1790. At that time, he was a young machinist, and few would have guessed that he was primed for success in the new United States. Yet, by the end of his life in 1835, Slater was obscenely wealthy, and his name was inextricably linked to the origins of American industry. This was due, in part, to his association with the Brown family of Providence.

On Thursday, January 29th at 5:30pm, at the John Brown House Museum in Providence, a Rhode Island Historical Society museum, National Park Service Ranger Allison Horrocks will explore the connections between John Brown, William Almy, and Samuel Slater, the early partners who provided ideas, financing, and just some of the labor that launched the American Industrial Revolution. Connecting College Hill and Pawtucket, this talk will show how family connections were not just convenient, but essential to the first generation of industrialists.

Allison Horrocks is a public historian specializing in labor history from Lincoln, RI, who currently works as a Park Ranger at Blackstone River Valley National Historical Park in Pawtucket, RI. Previously, Allison worked at Lowell National Historical Park and several other historic sites in New England. She earned her Ph.D. in History at the University of Connecticut and is the co-author of Dolls of Our Lives: Why We Can’t Quit American Girl.

Doors open at 4:30pm for a complimentary reception, along with the opportunity to explore the JBHM’s new exhibits. Admission costs $10 per person, and $5 for RIHS members.
