You have another Open House to catch the Black Heritage Collection which has got-ten rave reviews. Visitors have really appreciated having Onna Moniz-John on site to answer their questions and there have been some wonderful discussions. Come and ask about the “Door of No Return” or the Red Tail fighter. The Black Veterans display at the Education Center will be a Veterans’ Day favorite. In December, the Hunt House will be dressed with Black Heritage family Christmas decorations. And be sure to watch for the flyers announcing the December return of our famous Hunt’s Mills horse and wagon hayride and Teddy Bear Trail.
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 of the area who honor the memory of all who have lived here. It is a vibrant piece of the Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor, part of the National Park Service.

“A House Restored: The Tragedies and Triumphs of Saving a New England Colonial”
A presentation by author Lee McColgan who restored the 1702 Loring House. With foreword by Roy Underhill, uncle of our very own Eric Underhill. This humorous talk will hit home with anyone who has worked on any age house, only to find that a little more knowledge might be required? Reminds us of restoration work at Hunt House or, “We learned to perfect that technique right about there.”
