Bike Fall River had a beautiful day for
their history ride through Fall River. Our host, David Jennings of the
Lafayette/Durfee House, talked about the Marquis de Lafayette, Prince
Henry, the Quequechan River, the mills, the owners and the workers, the
Battle of Fall River, etc etc. The attached pictures will show you
