The John H. Chafee Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor is Twenty four cities and towns in two states, some 400,000 acres and more than 500,000 people. The Blackstone River runs from Worcester, MA to Providence, RI. Its waters powered the Slater Mill in Pawtucket, RI, America's first successful textile mill. This creative spark began the nation's transformation from farm to factory. Today, the Blackstone River Valley is a special type of National Park – a living landscape containing thousands of natural and historic treasures.
