Lowell

Lowell sits on the Merrimack River in northeastern Massachusetts, where a planned 19th-century canal system powered one of the United States’ earliest large-scale textile-manufacturing centres. The brick mills, canals and workers’ boardinghouses preserved by Lowell National Historical Park trace the city’s transformation into an industrial powerhouse. At the Boott Cotton Mills Museum, operating looms recall the sound and scale of mill work. Lowell’s later immigrant communities have also shaped its food, festivals and neighbourhood life.
