OPEN HOUSE-“The Past Can Guide the Future” The Onna Moniz-John Collection

The EPHS has the distinct honor of presenting East Providence’s own Onna Moniz-John and her unequaled collection of local and national Black heritage artifacts. The Hunt house showcases her favorite pieces and the Educational Center houses a very special exhibit of local Black men and women who served in the military from the Revolutionary War through the Vietnam War.

Hunt’s Mills is a family picnic area with walking trails along the 10 Mile River, historical buildings and a community garden starting to hit its stride. Its history is ancient, from Indigenous peoples who fished the falls and planted 3 Sister gardens to the present peoples who honor the memory of all  who have lived here.
