Over a 100 years ago EVERYONE in RI came to Riverside and Hunt’s Mills for a clam-bake, the rides, the dance halls and the fun. The weekend trolleys were full of people heading to East Providence. Ed Serowik Sr. grew up at Crescent Park and eventually took on the care of the carousel. The Eds, Sr. and Jr., will be at each exhibit with videos and first hand stories of the parks’ “hey days,” with a special program in October at the Weaver Library. The exhibit will be on display 2nd Sundays through December. Don’t forget that you can research your family tree at our Education Center!
