Rent the Mill!
Host your next business or social function at Slater Mill and make it an event to remember. Over two hundred years ago, Samuel Slater began manufacturing textiles at his wooden mill on the banks of the Blackstone River. His “curious experiement” in mechanization changed forever the way American’s work and live. You can make your own history here as well.
The exposed beams of the Old Slater mill or the rumble of the 16,000 pound water wheel in the Wilkinson Mill will help transport you and your guests back in time, adding charm and character to any occasion. Our buildings boast impressive views of the Blackstone River and are suitable for business meetings, receptions, dinners, exhibits, workshops and other events. The museum complex and its 5.5 park-like acres overlooking the river, create a perfect setting for outdoor weddings, receptions, fairs and festivals.
