Sadly, the rest of the sisterhood died from botulism after eating vichyssoise prepared by Sister Julia Child of God. Thus, the remaining nuns – ballet-loving Sister Leo, street-wise Sister Robert Anne, befuddled Sister Mary Amnesia, the Mother Superior Sister Regina, and mistress of the novices Sister Mary Hubert – stage a talent show in order to raise the money to bury their dearly departed.

The Samuel Slater Experience, an interactive, immersive museum in Webster, is dedicated to the life of Slater, whose pioneering work building up the US textile industry in the early 1800s earned him the moniker “Father of the American Industrial Revolution.” One half is dedicated to the town of Webster, which Slater helped found and build, with a focus on life around 1910. The museum has educational plaques on the walls, and artifacts ranging from a spinning wheel to a horseless carriage. Visitors can see what a mill floor looks like and view the clothing that was manufactured there. But at its heart the museum is a technological experience that lets visitors see, hear, and experience life in a different era. Previous registration required.
