Lowell National Historical Park Tours

Discover the continuing revolution. Lowell’s water-powered textile mills propelled America – and especially its immigrant families and female factory workers – into an uncertain industrial future. 200 years later, the changes that began here still reverberate throughout the global economy. Explore Lowell, a living monument to the dynamic human story of the Industrial Revolution.
