Journeys was Blackstone Valley's magazine for community, heritage, arts and culture and recreation published from 2004-2008,  distributed by direct mail and at over 660+ sites in 30+ communities. Its mission was to capture the historic significance  and the recreational assets and fun of the dynamic Blackstone River Valley. Not quite shedding its mill villages and paternalistic past as the birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution, its resurgence as a National Heritage Corridor with 24 America Preserve communities offers a compelling experience.
