We are sad to report that the Strutt Museum will be shutting its doors on September 30. Those of us in Pawtucket and the Blackstone Valley have shared a special relationship with Amber Valley and Belper over the years and join with those throughout England and the world in feeling very deeply about the loss of what was a very special, historic place.
The historic mill has played a large role in celebrating the area's industrial heritage as part of the World Heritage site. While current plans call for it to be put out to commercial use, it is hoped that something can be done in the future to keep it open to the public in some form.
