Come out for a Power Walk!
This spring, join a park ranger for a series of "power walks" around historic sites in the Blackstone Valley.
During these brisk walking tours, we'll explore the history of power along local waterways and wooded areas.
Hosted on Thursdays, April 18-May 30, 2024, at 5:30 p.m. No registration is required (free).
Cancellations will be posted on the park website: nps.gov/blrv.
