Burrillville Historical & Preservation Society
The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 26th at 7:00 pm. Following the meeting, Betty Mencucci will present a slideshow on the history of the Harrisville Mill from the early 1800s to Tinkham and Levy and now. The photo below shows Tinkham's new mill in 1911. It was advertised as being the largest concrete fireproof mill of its kind in New England, equipped throughout with electricity. This building is now the Clocktower apartments. Hope to see you at the Bridgeton School, 16 Laurel Hill Ave, Pascoag on Tuesday.
