Along the Blackstone in November
The Irish Influence in the Blackstone Valley
Monday @ 9:30 AM, Wednesday @ 8:00 AM and Sunday @ 3:00 PM
November’s episode of Along the Blackstone explores the long term cultural impact that the Irish Canal “strollers” brought to the Blackstone Valley with the building of the Blackstone Canal. Professors Jake Powers of Worcester State College and Scott Molloy of the University of Rhode Island take us on a totally Irish journey filled with great stories and great music from Pendragon as the show explores the stories of the Blackstone Valley’s first major immigrant group – the Irish.
