About Footsteps 2006

Blackstone River Valley "Footsteps in History" Preserve America Weekend highlights the historic and cultural attributes of the Blackstone River Valley by providing a weekend to celebrate historic, cultural and artistic sites. Tours, activities, and open houses will provide the opportunity for the public to enjoy and learn and provide experiential programs. This event will involve the 24 communities located in the Blackstone Valley. The date for the event is Columbus Day weekend (October 7, 8, and 9 2006), and is intended to become an annual event. 

Based on the Preserve America designation awarded to each city and town within the Valley in June 2004, the Tourism Collaborative is directly linked to this federal program. The Preserve America program is a White House initiative to encourage and support community efforts for the preservation and enjoyment of its precious natural and cultural heritage. 

Stay tuned to this web site for a list of all the sites and events that will take place during the Columbus Day Weekend, in addition to a map depicting the various historic sites located throughout the Valley.
