An 1895 carousel featuring 66 hand-carved figures.
What a great ride. Took us back to our childhood days...senior discounts and the attendants were most helpful to ensure that everyone had a great ride. The carousel horses were sturdy and most beautiful. Outside riders had the chance to snag a brass (plastic) ring.

A National Historic Landmark, the Slater Mill is a living history museum and educational center.
We stopped at Slater Mill to check out the southern end of the Blackstone River Valley National Historic Park. We started at the Slater Mill visitor center, but the docent there suggested we start at another visitor center across the street from the mill complex. We started there, looking at their posters and timeline. Then we watched a short video which provided another level of information specific to the mills that were built along the river. We returned to Slater Mill and the docent, Dee, took us on an excellent tour of the 3 historic buildings in the mill area: the Sylvanus Brown House, the Wilkinson Mill and the Slater Mill. There is a lot to see and learn here, so allow plenty of time and ask lots of questions!
