Neighborhood Kitchens visits Pawtucket - Providence's East Side and Rasoi

By Margarita Martinez   |   Tuesday, May 21, 2013   0 comments.

Spring is my favorite time in New England. In Providence and Pawtucket, the trees, bushes, and flowers are in bloom along the streets surrounding Blackstone Boulevard and East Avenue, creating a lovely canopy to stroll beneath. One particularly lush place to visit at this time of year is the Slater Mill Museum. Located in downtown Pawtucket on the Blackstone River, the Slater Mill Museum has a park bordered by blooming trees and the historic textile mill buildings. Built in 1793, the Old Slater Mill was the first successful textile mill. Today individuals and organizations can visit the Old Slater Mill to enjoy the grounds and to learn more about life during the Industrial Revolution in New England.
