"Work and Culture Museum" Top 5 Page for this destination Rhode Island Things to Do Tip by Princess104

The Work and Culture Museum is a nice little stop when you have a extra time. Two stories of exhibits showcase life in the Blackstone Valley during its earlier years as a mill area. As one progresses through the exhibits (many of which are hands on or are audio/visual, which may appeal to young children) one gets a sense of the life and struggle of theses early Americans. The Museum has two floors and changing exhibits. There are some videos (which I reccomend skipping if one has younger children who may not be up to sitting through a 14 minute video). There are elevators for those who need assistance and restrooms (extremely clean!). The museum also is a visitors center and houses a gift shop as well, which sells goods from some local artisans. The museum is open M-F 9:30-4 Saturday 10-5, and Sunday 1-5. Adults are $6, Seniors/Students $4, and children under 10 w/ an adult get in free. If you get a chance visit the surrounding shops and the grounds near the museum...also to note right next to the museum is is the Historical Society.
