On Sun­day July 11, four­teen mem­bers of South County House #1 took a tour on the Black­stone Val­ley Explorer, to visit the Black­stone River.

This is the only river­boat on the river, and the group dis­cov­ered the indus­trial past of what was once called “America’s Hard­est Work­ing River”. They learned about the river’s ecosys­tem and its present restora­tion projects.

South County House #1 pro­vided air cooled trans­porta­tion in a four­teen pas­sen­ger van. Refresh­ments were served on the way home.

A good time was had by all.

We’re wait­ing.

    Great time. The guide was very knowl­edge­able and even though this was the her last tour of the day she was very patient with her group of seniors.
