If your family has never seen a pair of Clydesdale horses up close this is an oppor-tunity you won’t want to miss. Clyde and Dale are two of the areas most powerful, gentle, and photogenic creatures, decked out in their silver bridles. The hayride spots are going fast but a photo op with these wonderful horses is a must. The Black Heritage exhibit wraps up this Sunday with Christmas decorations and you can still start some of your own heritage research in time for the holidays at our Education Center. The Teddy Bear Trail will be part of Hikes at Hunt’s and the Ten Mile River Group will greet you at its headquarters along the river. Our generous sponsors for this special event welcome you with refreshments and gifts. We thank them all!

Hunt’s Mills is a family picnic area with walking trails along the 10 Mile River, his-torical buildings, a fish ladder and a community . Its history is ancient, from Indige-nous peoples who fished the falls and planted 3 Sister gardens to today’s diverse peoples of the area who honor the memory of all who have lived here. It is a vi-brant piece of the Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor, part of the National Park Service.
