History of The Grand Manor
The Grand Manor, a historic Victorian mansion, has been a part of the Pawtucket landscape since 1841. It was built for Elias B. Pitcher, a cottom manufacturer, in a neighborhood that was filled with stately homes of industrialists.

Several years later, the Walcott Street mansion was sold to Lyman B. Goff. In the 1880's Goff renovated the mansion and added the front portico as well as the Queen Anne style interior trim.

It later became the headquarters of the American Red Cross and the Boy Scouts of America.

In 1970 the Rhode Island Children's Museum moved in. The mansion was sold when the museum moved to Providence. It has since been restored to its original elegance, boasting nine ornate rooms with their original fireplaces and stained glass windows, all available for your special function.
