The community garden at Hunt’s has been particularly bountiful this season. There have been vegetables to share - come and see what might be availa-ble.

Getting a “Grip” on History - the peoples of the Blackstone Valley and their prod-ucts, such as the monkey wrench, which changed the world


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 garden in full bloom. Its history is ancient, from Indigenous peoples who fished the falls and planted 3 Sister gardens to the present diverse peoples who honor the memory of all who have lived here. It is a part of the Blackstone Valley National Heritage Corridor
