On main st, at the entrance to the city hall, is a plaque commemorating Abraham Lincoln speaking there on his campaign in 1860, just as he was blowing up. Lincoln has no beard on the plaque, I love it so much.

Nearby at the train station is a statue of the dog Hachi. The Richard Gere movie about a dog who waits for his owner was filmed here. I love it so much.

At Precious Blood cemetery, corner of Rathbun and Diamond Hill, is the grave of Little Rose. She was a lady who was bedridden her whole life and developed stigmata on her palms and forehead. There’s a museum in town but its only open like once a month. The grave has pamphlets in English and Spanish though. From the secondary entrance on Rathbun, her grave is on the corner in front and right of you. I love seeing church groups praying at it, I love it so much.

Gosh, I love Woonsocket so much.
