Lowell National Historical Park
Lowell National Historical Park includes a variety of significant sites in the historic mill town of Lowell, Massachusetts. Because of its proximity to the Pawtucket Falls on the Merrimack River, which provided a crucial source of power for local industry, Lowell became the largest industrial center in the U.S. by the middle of the 19th century and is considered the Cradle of the American Industrial Revolution. Industry in Lowell focused on the textile industry, drawing immigrants from Canada, Ireland, and all over continental Europe. After the end of WWII, the textile industry declined, and many of the mills in the area fell into disuse. The Lowell National Historical Park was established in 1978 to preserve this important piece of American history.
