The Museum of Work and Culture in Woonsocket, RI is a very fascinating place despite its rather uninspired name. It is devoted to the history of the immigrants (largely French-Canadian) and the mills of that area. It features a very realistic reproduction of Precious Blood Church in Woonsocket, as well as an old Catholic School Classroom, factory setting, and living room.
- Individual pictures, class pictures, group pictures, yearbook pictures, pictures with Nuns and Brothers (up to 8 1/2" x 11")
- Memorabilia of your days in Catholic School
- a one-page "composition" recalling your school days
Please submit any pictures and written materials with proper identification to:
Eugene A. Peloquin

I went years ago with Jeff and Lissa and a small homeschool group. Its where my Mum grew up. I loved the model of the church and the guide welcoming us in French. One of the recorded voices sounds like my gramma.
