About this map

The Blackstone River valley dominates this landscape, serving as a corridor for settlement and modern recreation. The industrial heritage of the region is evident in the string of villages along its banks, including Fisherville, Saundersville, and Farnumsville, where the river's power once drove local mills. Cultural and ancestral history is preserved at several distinct sites, most notably the Hassanamisco Burial Ground and the Indian Burying Ground, which reflect the area's indigenous heritage alongside colonial-era landmarks like the Old Oak Street Burial Ground.
