The Ghosts of Saint Valentine's at Slater Mill
Slater Mill Museum honors Saint Valentine's Day with a special ghost tour.
"The Ghosts of St Valentine's at Slater Mill"
Location: The Museum is located at 67 Roosevelt Avenue, Downtown Pawtucket, RI.
Date: Friday, February 17, 2012
Start Time: 7:30 p.m.
Program: A Ghostly Valentine's at Slater Mill. Are you looking for something out of the ordinary to help celebrate Valentine's Day weekend this year? Consider visiting Slater Mill, Pawtucket's historic treasure and birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution, for a ghost hunt through three splendidly preserved buildings on the grounds: Slater Mill (1793), Wilkinson Mill (1810) and Sylvanus Brown House (1758).
Slater Mill interpreters Carl and Keith Johnson, widely regarded as authorities on the paranormal, will guide participants upstairs for a brief talk (approximately 10 minutes) on the lesser known traditions of Valentine's Day, and how the occasion might have been observed in New England two centuries ago.
An authentic paranormal investigation will then be directed by the Johnsons, who have appeared on the television shows Ghost Hunters and The Haunted and Paranormal State. The group will be led through Slater Mill, then out to the walkway overlooking Slater Dam where all will pause and an "offering" to the spirits of the Blackstone River--in the form of a sparkling beverage and carnations--will be poured and tossed over the railing and into the rushing water.
Come and bring your sweetie for a walk through the site where the TAPS team investigated, and brace yourself for the unexpected! The tour will last 90 minutes. Admission is $20.00 per person. For reservations and further information, call (401)725-8638 ext 101. Slater Mill is located at 67 Roosevelt Avenue, Pawtucket, RI next to Pawtucket City Hall and across from Pawtucket Visitor Center.
