Valley Falls Mill

The Valley Falls Mill features an Italianate brick structure from 1849, complemented by outbuildings, a dam across the Blackstone River, and canal remnants.

The mill operated until the 1930s when a fire caused substantial damage, leaving behind foundation ruins that showcase nineteenth-century industrial engineering methods.

The site belongs to the Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor, demonstrating the textile manufacturing legacy of New England industrial development.

Visitors can access the mill ruins through Broad Street, with additional parking available at Central Falls Landing across the river via Madeira Avenue.

The granite foundation ruins were transformed between 1993 and 1995 into a heritage park that allows exploration of original gate machinery and water management systems.
