Our Programs

  

      Monthly Programs - during the spring and fall the Society presents speakers on various preservation topics or entertainment.

       Cultural Programs - from time to time we present or co-sponsor a regional cultural program such as the Providence Mandolin Orchestra.

    Historic Tours - the Society offers educational tours to students and adult tours on an occasional basis. In 2006 we presented a Barn Tour. Contact us for information about arranging a tour of an historic district for your club or group.

    Cemetery Program - the Society has recorded 144 historic cemeteries in Foster. We sponsor periodic clean-ups by our members or local groups such as the Boy Scouts.                                 

   Plaque Program - FPS has promoted the identification of homes and buildings, which are listed in the State and/or National Register of Historic Places, with plaques stating the name of the original owner and date the house was built. To apply for a plaque please contact us.

   National Register Programs - our members completed the research required to have the four historic districts in Foster listed in the National Register (Foster Center, Hopkins Mills, Moosup Valley and Clayville).  There remain individual properties that have been deemed eligible for nomination pending additional research.

   Winsor  Blacksmith Shop Demonstrations - Demonstrations of the blacksmith's trade are presented during school tours, at the Old Home Days celebration, and at various other times during the year.
