Golf in Pawtucket

Pawtucket is Rhode Island's second-largest city and the birthplace of America's Industrial Revolution, where Samuel Slater established the nation's first successful water-powered textile mill at Slater Mill in 1793. The city's position on the Blackstone River, just north of Providence, made it the natural site for industrial development throughout the nineteenth century. Today the Slater Mill Historic Site is a National Historic Landmark drawing visitors interested in the birth of American manufacturing. Pawtucket has been revitalizing its downtown with art studios, restaurants, and new residential development, and McCoy Stadium — the former home of the Pawtucket Red Sox — is being redeveloped as part of the city's renewal efforts.
