Help Keep the Gears of Progress Turning!

Together, with the support of friends like you, our communities established the Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor in 1986. During that time, we have led the efforts to preserve this amazing, living landscape and created a national park to interpret the birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution. Today, we ask you to help us continue this important work.

YOUR SUPPORT OF BLACKSTONE HERITAGE CORRIDOR HELPS US TO:

Partner with nonprofits, businesses, and residents to restore, retain and reinvigorate the Valley;
Coordinate enthusiastic volunteers to work on behalf of BRVNHC and its partners;
Facilitate a variety of programs and events to connect people to the National Heritage Corridor and its nationally significant resources;
Provide services to the 25 communities that make up the Corridor in Massachusetts and Rhode Island; and,
Act as the local coordinating entity of the Blackstone River Valley National Historical Park.

Make a contribution today and invest in the future of the

Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor!

Thank you for your support!

Last year, on #GivingTuesday, you helped us expand GearHeads, our Junior Ranger program, through a number of new online activities and to develop and build two new workstations for kids to Explore Nature, Discover History, Protect the Environment, and Go on Adventures in the Blackstone River Valley.

This year, we hope that you will celebrate the Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor's 35^th Anniversary by making a contribution. With your support, we can continue the mission of preserving, protecting, and interpreting the living landscape of the Blackstone River Valley and celebrate the region as the birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution.

BHC continues the 35-year mission towards completing the Blackstone River Bikeway, restoring key segments of the historic Blackstone Canal, promoting a "fishable/swimmable river," and supporting other stakeholders such as the National Park Service, state parks in the Valley, local historical, cultural, natural resource conservation organizations and heritage/visitor centers.

Thank you for helping us to tell our continuing story.
