Ranger Walkabout: Making a Mill Village

Join a Park Ranger and explore the Blackstone River Valley.

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.

JULY 10 PROGRAM:
How have people harnessed waterpower through the ages? Take a leisurely walk with a ranger in Manchaug, a small but mighty mill village, and learn about the local uses of waterpower. See an extensive mill complex and learn about the workings of a millpond. Meet in the public parking lot of Manchaug Mills, Inc.
