Description
In 1992, archaeologists from Rhode Island College’s Public Archaeology Program conducted investigations around the Captain Wilbur Kelly House (ca. 1820) and along the Blackstone Canal in Ashton in preparation for the soon to be constructed bike path. Revisit the location with one of the archaeologists that was involved in the original investigations, National Park Service Ranger John McNiff, and see how the results of those investigations are being interpreted today along that bike path. Wear comfortable shoes for walking on uneven or rough terrain.
