With legendary characters like Peter Palagi, aviator Jack McGee, and Fanny the Elephant; landmarks such as the Music Hall building and Shartenberg's department store; and bustling business districts on Main and Broad Streets, Pawtucket's history has a life of its own. The Pawtucket Public Library and the Spaulding House Research Library have published here some of the most fascinating images from their rich collections assembled over decades and chronicling Pawtucket's vivid history from the 1820s to the 1990s. This compelling photographic history is a valuable contribution to the growing movement to preserve Pawtucket's heritage.
