Known as the birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution, Pawtucket is a dynamic city that wears its “hard-working” history with pride. It was here, at Slater Mill, that the country’s manufacturing era began, and today that same spirit of production has shifted into a thriving arts and creative community. The city is famous for its massive mill buildings that now house artist studios, galleries, and the global headquarters of Hasbro.
