Bringing Heritage to Life

The preservation of the folk and cultural traditions of the Blackstone River Valley are important to retaining a true sense of who we are and celebrating the ethnic makeup of the region. The Heritage Corridor Commission supports activities that perpetuate an understanding of valley heritage – traditional music, dance, language, crafts and trades that connect us to our past.

The further development of the creative community in the Corridor also contributes to a vibrant economy and the chance to bring new life to older buildings and community centers. Bringing heritage to life through the arts is one of the ways we celebrate the Valley for its authentic resources, cultural heritage and natural beauty.
