We have a great relationship with our park personnel! It is an urban park which is kind of unique. We share our property for events!
Sincerely,
Lowell National Historical Park
In the early 1800s, this planned industrial town used an extensive canal system around area waterways to power its mills, giving rise to a to a thriving manufacturing community largely comprised of immigrants and working women. Lowell's "Mill Girls" made up 75 percent of its work force. These early 19th century young women left their homes on New England farms for jobs in the booming textile industry.
