On November 16th, join Museum of Work & Culture’s Education & Program Manager Sarah Carr as she presents on Woonsocket Works, the most technologically advanced exhibit ever undertaken by the RIHS. She will discuss the work involved in developing a new exhibit, preview the technology being used, and explain how this new digital space will allow visitors to explore how the explosive growth of mill production transformed the people and landscape of Woonsocket. After learning about the exhibit, you can go and try out this new digital landscape at the Museum of Work & Culture for free! Admission to John Brown House and the Museum of Work & Culture is free on What Cheer Wednesdays.

Coming up: Each week “What Cheer Wednesdays” features a new theme, and these tours are sure to cue curiosity in kids and adults alike!
