Providence Waterways, Past & Present (Opening Reception)

Free
Exhibition Dates: Mar 7, 2019 – May 31, 2019
The confluence of the Woonasquatucket and Moshassuck Rivers provided a gathering place for Rhode Island’s earliest inhabitants. Since then, these and other waterways have been central to the development of our capital city. This exhibition will explore the waterways’ evolution from colonial thoroughfares, to critical lines of transport for Rhode Island’s early industries, to the civic gathering spaces they are today.
An exhibition opening reception will be held on Thursday, March 7th, 5:00pm-7:00pm. Kindly RSVP bsepe@sos.ri.gov or 401-222-1035. Light refreshments will be served.
This event is part of Year of the City. Learn more at www.yearofthecity.com.
