National park with several sites, free access and no opening hours in Lowell
The town of Lowell played a major role in the development of the textile industry in New England and more broadly in the industrial revolution. This national park, established in 1978, highlights Lowell's importance as a historic town. It includes several sites, including the canal system, former workers' residences, and textile mills. Not to be missed is the Boott Cotton Mills Museum, which provides an interactive explanation of how the textile mills operated. You can explore the various sites on foot, by taking a historic boat tour on the Merrimack River or along the Pawtucket Canal (Canal Boat Tours, organized throughout the summer and starting at the Visitor Center). The best way to get a good overview of all the points of interest in the park is to take one of the free trolleys, driven by a ranger who will answer all your questions. Information can be obtained from the website or directly from the Visitor Center, where you can obtain a brochure detailing the various sites. The park is accessible free of charge and has no opening hours, so you can wander freely between its pretty streets. The historic district of Lowell offers a pleasant stroll for passing visitors. However, you should check the website for the opening days and times of the buildings that are part of the site, as well as their prices.
