About Footsteps
in History
The Footsteps in History Preserve
America Weekend “Five Centuries in Three Days” is a celebration of
our national heritage in which the 24 communities of the
Blackstone River Valley showcase about 100 cultural and historical
attractions for the enjoyment of residents, tourists and their
families. Footsteps in History was created by the Blackstone River
Valley Tourism Collaborative, which includes the Blackstone Valley
Tourism Council, the John H. Chafee Blackstone River Valley
National Heritage Corridor, and the Blackstone Valley Chamber of
Commerce. Footsteps in History is sponsored by the Rhode Island
Historical Preservation & Heritage Commission, the Massachusetts
Historical Commission with grant funding from the Advisory Council
on Historic Preservation. See this
