BVHS will be showing Part 1 of “Senechonet to Manville: A Journey Through Time,” a movie that is a historical commentary on the village of Manville, RI, by Betty and Carlo Mencucci. The movie includes many photographs and other material collected by Roger Gladu. It covers the growth of Manville from colonial times and ends with the spectacular disasters of the 20th century: the 1920s textile strikes, the 1924 house gas explosion on Cumberland Hill, the 1927 flood, the 1938 hurricane, and the flood and fire in 1955.
Free Event. Don’t miss this movie!
