Item Description

The Rhode Island Historical Society invites you to two amazing museums! 

At the John Brown House Museum you will be able to discover the lifestyles of the rich, famous and waistcoated! Experience an 18th-century center of wealth and power. As you learn about what life was like in the brand new United States of America. (Located in Providence, RI)

Or You can explore:

The Museum of Work & Culture with its nine immersive exhibits, hands-on displays, and audio and film presentations. This museum explains life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when immigrants flocked to Rhode Island in search of work and prosperity. Their labors - both on and off the factory floor - helped define the culture of the Blackstone River Valley. Today, the Museum of Work & Culture preserves their stories for future generations. Visitors begin their journey in a farmhouse and imagine the experience of agricultural life in nineteenth-century Quebec. From there they will cross the border into the United States and enter the workday world of Industrial Era. The Museum's other exhibits recreate the new settlers' lives at home, at work, and at school, and present the story of the Independent Textile Union. The Museum of Work & Culture explores the continued impact of the industrial revolution and honors the experience of the people, past and present, who have enriched the Blackstone River Valley. (Located in Woonsocket, RI which is 15 Miles from Providence)
