Residents of the Baressi and Bishop Eid Housing Developments were invited to take a special Discover Fall River history tour of Fall River's North End with a stop at the Ruggles Farmers' Market.  Fresh produce is sold every Wednesday morning from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, June 5 to October 30, at Ruggles Park at Pine & Seabury Streets. Seniors were able to use some of the Farmers' Market Coupons that were given out by the Council on Aging several weeks earlier to encourage seniors to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. The tour included a stop at the Oak Grove Cemetery nearby where participants got to see Lizzie Borden's gravesite.
