The Museum of Work & Culture will continue its popular free series, Tea Time Talks, a casual, conversational program where participants will learn more about one of the Museum’s permanent exhibits and have the opportunity to share their personal stories.
Join the museum for the next program in the series on Thursday, May 1 at 2 pm. Participants will gather around the River Exhibit, which highlights the history of the Blackstone River and the ways various communities have benefitted from living on its shores. In honor of Earth Day, local journalists from EcoRI News, an online environmental news publication, will speak on local environmental events from Woonsocket’s history, including Operation ZAP and recent mill fires. Come ready to learn more about the natural environment in Woonsocket and to share your own experiences and stories, including any environmental issues that you would like to see covered. All are welcome, and encouraged to bring photographs and other documents that will help illustrate their stories.
Cookies and tea will be served, and admission is free. Guests can register here.
