Hello


I am new to this forum and was wondering, if anyone could tell me any stories that they know, or of any web sites where I could find old information or stories about the Fairlawn area of Pawtucket and or Lincoln? I have gathered much information and am interested in the time period from 1940 to 1980 and am writing a book about story's and recollections from the area.



Thank you in advance.


Rev. Edward.

The Pawtucket Public Library might be a good source.

Go to the Pawtucket Public Library and ask the Reference Librarian. That is what they are trained to do.
