  • Blackstone River Valley National Historical Park
    National Park Service Blackstone River Valley U.S. Department of the Interior National Historical Park Dear Friends – Welcome to the first newsletter for your new Blackstone River Valley National Historical Park. As of December 19, 2014, Blackstone became the 402nd unit of the National Park Service. What an accomplishment! Thank you to everyone who made this park a reality. The National Park Service is honored to be able to tell the story of “the Birthplace of America’s Industrial Revolution,” here, in the Blackstone Valley. While the park has been legislatively established, there is still some work to do. First and foremost, the National Park Service (NPS) is working on drawing the park boundary. We are meeting with state government agencies, nonprofit organizations, municipalities, stakeholders, community members and volunteers to help us define this boundary. We would love your input and hope to hear from you. Though we don’t yet have an official boundary, NPS Rangers are out in the Valley this summer. We have rangers supporting summer camps, giving Walkabouts, attending events, and meeting visitors at important sites. We are working on publishing outreach materials and Jr. Ranger books. National Park Passport stamps will be coming soon! On behalf of all of us that have the honor to work for the NPS, we appreciate your support in our mission to create a world-class National Park in the Blackstone River Valley. I’m excited to be on this journey with you. Sincerely, Meghan Kish Meghan Kish Superintendent Blackstone River Valley National Historical Park Meet the Staff Meghan Kish is the Superintendent for Blackstone River Valley National Historical Park, New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park and Roger Williams National Memorial.

The 128 acres of land are currently held in fee-simple title by the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation. In its October 1, 2007 submission to the National Indian Gaming Commission,1 (NIGC), Dickenson Wright LLC. by Dennis J. Whittlesey (the Firm), representing the Executive Board of Dekalb County Illinois, opines that the lands in question are not a permanently established, treaty- recognized Indian reservation as claimed by the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation.2 Instead, the Firm claims that the lands in question constitute “Indian lands” upon which Indian title was never extinguished.
