Museum of Work & Culture

The Museum of Work & Culture presents the compelling story of immigrants who came to find a better life in the mill towns along the Blackstone River. Visitors recreate this journey, beginning in a Quebecois farmhouse before making their way to the workday world of Woonsocket, RI at the turn of the century. Guests explore the lives of immigrants at home, work, and school through nine immersive exhibits.
