What Happened to Snow Town? – A hardscrabble Providence neighborhood near the state house, Snow Town was home to a mixed-race community surrounded by saloons and brothels. In 1831 a racially motivated mob burned the homes of Black residents on nearby Olney Street. For the EG Historic Preservation Socieity’s June meeting, Heather Olson will describe the circumstances of the attacks and show remarkable artifacts excavated at the site by the Public Archeology Lab. In a virtual program she will show how PAL used state-of-the-art technology to uncover this lost neighborhood. Heather was project manager of the Snow Town excavation for Public Archeology Lab in Pawtucket. This free Zoom program is sponsored by the East Greenwich Historic Preservation Society. Register at [email protected] for the Zoom link. At 7:30 p.m.
