In this episode Lori Urso talks a bit about the history of preserving a New England treasure, Slater Mill, in Pawtucket. Because history encompasses a wide array or archival, preservation, and interpretive work, we also talked about the task of preservation, what it's value, and how you can help.  Visit the website of the Old Slater Mill Association: https://www.oldslatermillassociation.org/ Read one of Lori's articles in Small State, Big History: http://smallstatebighistory.com/the-unexpected-preservationist-of-old-slater-mill-s-willard-thayer-1869-1925/ In the past week this podcast received an endorsement from the The Bristol Historical & Preservation Society, which occupies the old County Jail at 48 Court St. Learn more about Bristol’s history and what’s currently on display at www.bhpsri.org.
