Lowell National Historical Park
Lowell National Historical Park is one of the most distinctive urban national parks in the country — a living, working museum built around the 19th-century textile mills and canal system that made Lowell the birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution. The park spans multiple sites across downtown, including the Boott Cotton Mills Museum, where 88 power looms still run on the mill floor, and the Suffolk Mill Turbine Exhibit. Canal boat tours and trolley rides run seasonally and require advance reservations for groups.
The park draws school groups, history enthusiasts, and heritage travelers from across New England year-round.
Charter bus drop-off is accessible along Market Street near the visitor center. The official visitor information says visitors using the Hamilton Canal Innovation District garage at 350 Dutton Street can park at no cost after obtaining a valid voucher from the visitor center at 246 Market Street or the Boott Cotton Mills Museum. Check the official park planning page for current group tour scheduling and parking guidance before your visit.
