Tour was interesting and included real working machines from the 1700's. Saw a replica of the waterwheel. Guide was knowledgeable and clearly interested in the topic. He was open to questions as well.

adrian tang

Great hour-long tour by a very knowledgeable guide through the birth of America's industrial revolution in Pawtucket! Saw three buildings next to the Blackstone river- 18th century Brown home, water powered tools and textile mill factories. Definitely recommend well worth the drive from Boston! Wish there was a bit more about the Native American history in the area pre-dating the industrial period.

Lori Forget

Amazing and so informative

Sonya Langham

Beautiful site, lazy river, pristine grounds. I could have stayed outside. I am very happy I did not. The interior building was nicely lit with little lights and the staff clearly enjoyed what they were doing. Thank you to all staff and a nod of gratitude to Lori

Melissa Rollings

Beautiful piece of history.

Max Clement

This is a nice place to stop. They offer guided tours around four different buildings. the guides are very knowledgeable. they know exactly what they are talking about. In every building the guide shows you something opposed to just talking. one room that I relay enjoyed is the actual water turbine. The room is very nice inside. they also show you a working model of what is happening.

Crash Brucker

Very old and not open in the winter months

john gouin

Carl was an amazing tour guide.

Alex Smith

Visit instructive. A must see for lovers of history and industrial mechanics.

Lynn Labree

Beautiful, well maintained, step back in history;)

Lynn Lawson

Slater Mill was the site of America’s first cotton mill, and is said to be where our industrial revolution began. The mill is now an historic museum, and is beautifully restored and maintained. It’s also a wonderful event space, and was the locale for the wedding of an old college friend and his bride.

Brian Stauffer

This place is so freakin' historic it is almost unbelievable. The tour guides are wicked knowledgeable and it is amazing to walk around and see the equipment used for what were the beginnings of the American Industrial Revolution. And on top of that if Carl is around he can tell you of the several paranormal experiences that have and continue to occur at this step way back in time historic place! I went on Father's Day when they offered free admission with a paying adult. A really interesting place to check out and did I mention it's HISTORIC?

Linda Parker

Great Historical place!

Elliot Klimowski

Far more detailed and interactive than you might think. The machine demonstrations were very educational and the guides are very friendly.

Kris K

Well kept historic buildings. The equipment isn't original since most if not all had British manufacturer names on them. But I wasn't expecting to see original equipment there.

Kristine Corleone

Interesting walk to around outside. The cost to go in to the actual historic area is a bit expensive. The water fall is beautiful and could be better if they'd clean out the river.

Terry Terry

Awesomely interesting

Eric Veien

Very interesting and not at all crowded

Julia Goncharenko

It’s a good place to visit. The views are very nice.

Oscar Ruiz-Diaz

The tour was a historic passage to an era long gone. The beginings of our industrial era.

Cole Rogers

Guide was really knowledgeable and friendly, interesting museum.

Ana M. F. Moreno

Personal tour was amazing. .. Carl was so patient with our children and very knowledgeable about everything. Love going there! I go every time we come to RI : )

Angelo Nieves

Slater Mill is Historic..U can bring all ur family.. They r lots off events.. As u step inside the mill u step back in time all the machine r still there.. There is also a Museum inside.

Gail Brody

Always an exceptional site to visit

Lilach Malatskey

(Translated by Google) It is very strange to see where the entrance is, even though the site is open to visitors. Half power to visit .. (Original) מוזר מאד לא ברור איפה הכניסה למרות שכתוב שהאתר פתוח למבקרים.סביבת הנחל יפה רמת נקיון בינונית. חצי כח לביקור..

Raymond Ramos

We received a wonderfully guided tour of the various buildings: a typical period home, the stone building where machinery was fixed (and powered via a water well) and the wood frame structure which was the original mill. (Across the street in the visitors center you can also see a movie about mills and company towns in RI). Nice setting along the river.

Damian Reyes

Great because its hystory

Yulia Berry

An amazing historical place and museum! Love coming back again and again! So much to learn and see! People who give tours and work in the museum are incredible and passionate about what they do!

ken poole

Great staff, good historical site to visit, pretty waterfall and grounds

Johnny Saint

Good place to go

Daniel Bythrow

Slater mill is historic. But not something to do everyday. They do tours on a limited basis. To see how the water was use to advance the American way is amazing. I would recommend making time to see this relic. Soon all of the 17th century building will be gone.

Leslie Vaz

This is my anncestors mill. Wilconson is atually my grandma's last name before she got married to Robert Vaz.

Josh De Los Santos

Really nice grounds to walk around. I have not taken one of the tours yet.

Jesse williams

Had a huge impact on the industrial revolution, being the first textile mill on continental America, a great place for a school field trip or an educational escapade.

George French

Impressive preserved site of the birth of the Industrial Revolution in the U.S. The tour, with a knowledgeable, personable local guide, brought the pioneering textile manufacturing process to life. (Bring your National Parks card for a nice discount.)

keith birchall

Great Historical Site

Andrew Xenos

Slater mill is an extremely special place and one that I will definitely be going back to many more times. The richness of history and the beauty of the grounds and buildings are really something worth checking out. They do amazing programing with Lizz jazz nights, textile craft classes and informational tours. I highly recommend bringing your family and friends down any weekend. Tours are from 10 to 3 sat. and sun.

Claudine Lataille

Unfortunately the tour was closed on Friday when we went but the grounds were clean and great for pictures.

Kevin M Cuddeback

Puts you at the center of the First Industrial Revolution with the original buildings where it began in the USA

Rita Hansen

Historic...first textile mill in America.

A beautiful historic place to visit. They have cotton gins and other artifacts from the mill era here. Wonderful view out the original windows to see the river, and how it would power the mill.

Micheal Jacques

Great place if you like the old machinery and old buildings. Very informative staff.

James Wallace

Gem of our industrial revolution and a must visit!

This place is still a favorite of mine been go in since I was 5 and I'm 32 now

Lionel Picard

I grew up there

Mary Beth Stamm

Birthplace of America's Industrial Revolution. Loved seeing the cotton gin.

Randall pelletier

It is just so rich in history. Here is where the beginning of the industrial revolution started in the United States . The site has some of the best examples of early textile manufacturing. The site set on the Blackstone River and it's a beautiful place. They keep it well maintained with period era gardens which are truly incredible

Miguel Roca

It's small and quick however the city has another venue across street where you can Learn and read about the birth place of the American industrial revolution. Nice & free 60 minute excursion.

Stephen Leger

Cool little historic site. If we had more time would have taken the paid tour - price $10 - $12 approximately. Tour said to take 1 hour.

Great family spot

PR TechGuy

Beautiful place, lots of history. Lots of buildings and history here. However the tours are a bit pricey. Aside from that really nice, super clean and well taken care of.

Gaylyn F.

Stopped here while visiting New England on vacation. This place was more than we expected. The tour is 2 mills and a home and well priced. The kids and my husband and I really enjoyed it. Carl was our tour guide and demonstrated many of the machines and did a fantastic job, taking time to answer my kids' many questions! Would highly recommend!

SugaKookie4BTS

Like the history

DA C

Slater Mill never disappoints. I attended this year's Knit in Public Day event. As always the event was well planned, museum docents were knowledgeable and friendly.

Monique Santos

Always a great place to visit! A nice glimpse into the beginning of our awesome country's industrial revolution! It's cool to see how things worked all those years ago, how hard things really were for people, and than look at how much things r easier because of technology! A fun fact for all of you, do u know children started to work as young as 6- 7 yeas old! Because they had small hands to fit into machines! CRAZY right!? We should all know our country's history so we dont make the same mistakes again!

Bernhard Britsch

Mühle funktioniert nicht, sonst sehr interessant v.a. auch Film im VC

Kath Lomi

Went to the fiber arts weekend. So wonderful. Beautiful yams and products.

Robert Simmons

We went on a field trip today, and with the exception of Mr. Jay and Ms. Amanda, the other presenters were fairly rude and obviously don't know how to properly engage grade school children to keep them interested and content. It's a shame that a place with such a wealth of knowledge can really turn off a child's interest so easily due to poor presentation.

Rick Craige

Historical Beauty!!!

Marc Roidt

Good for the price

Nicole Christie

Friendly let me use nice rest room to change my baby

John Seaton

Beautiful and the history

levipicard

cool.

Kris In PA

I was an interpreter here 25 years ago and was pleased to see the museum not only has been well-maintained over the years, but improved. Our interpreter was knowledgeable and personable. Fascinating story, particularly within the context of the Blackstone River Valley.

Mister Guy

The location for the start of Industrial Revolution in the the New World. Several old structures and a replica water wheel are located here in downtown Pawtucket. It's what Pawtucket is most known for.

Trisha Traynor

beautiful scenery..until u turn around & checkout the raggidy bus stop across the street.but it would probably lookeven better if we had somemore buildings that looked like they came from the same time period instead of just 1 random bldg maybe make a theme downtown around it.. or at least mark the historic buildings and houses we do have... kinda like providence does in their city.

robert schweitzer

Great experience

Sandra Hamlinnbct2018

Best in Rhode Island for history on the era of industrialization . The cotton mills are worth a field trip

Robert Wivagg

Very nice, very well kept. Friendly staff, lots of information. Can't get access to inside of mill buildings without going on a 50 minute tour at a cost of $12 per adult.

Jill Rosenfeld

Great tour

Steve North

Used to live near here and went back over the weekend with my family. Nice to see they are taking such nice care of the property.

Bob-Patty Lavallee

Get the library pass from Pawtucket library only. Free for 2 adults and 2 kids. Student discount is just $10. Regular price is $12 adult and $8.50 kids. Tour guides are well informed.

James DeThomas

Visit the birth place of the industrial revolution.

Pamela Pereira

Wonderful place to drink in American history.

Kevin Jahns

If you want to take your fifth graders on a field trip but can’t afford to take them to Colonial Williamsburg, this is the place for you!

Roberto Sosa

Very interesting.

Tim McDuff

The staff at Slater Mill Museum is always making sure that the displays and tours are always adapting to tell so many of the interesting stories revolving around Slater Mill and the industrial revolution that started there. They also have impressive seasonal ghost tours and tours about the pre-industrialization Era of the surrounding area.

Malcolm Tott

Excellent restored mill and building clearly depicting the history of weaving in RI - looks very familiar coming from the UK where it all started.

Terri Diodati

I came today as a chaparogne with my son's school. The tour guides were absoutuyly terrible. Rude to all the children! The only one we enjoyed was the male guide. I will probably never recommended coming her to anyone.

David Guyer

Was nice

Elsa S

Slater Mill Historic Site offers an amazing tour experience with guides providing unexpected details that bring history to life!

jennifer renee

Very informative tour! Learned so much about the different processes, things I had actually wondered about when we saw certain tools on exhibits but had never been explained.

Jerry D

We were on a road trip and just happened to bump into this place. We spent a few hours walking around and really enjoyed the history lesson. You can tell that the people who run it really carry pride in their hearts for this historical place. The lady that ran the welcome center was very helpful and shared lot of information with us.

Mike Mollo

Cool place cool place to visit very nice people
