Lowell National Historical Park
Mogan Cultural Center
 

Our mission here at the Patrick J. Mogan Cultural Center is to "tell the human story of Lowell" through community-sponsored exhibits, projects and programs. We are located at 40 French Street, in a renovated brick building that was originally a corporation boardinghouse block for young women working in the textile mills. We are historical, we tell the story of past residents in this exceptional city. We form a bridge between the city, its community groups, the University of Massachusetts Lowell and Lowell National Historical Park. We strive to play a positive role among groups and also to advance cultural and historical activities within the city.

Hours of Operation, Sunday - Saturday 1:30pm-4:30pm.

NOTE, this does not include University of Massachusetts Center for Lowell History which is only open Tuesdays, 9:00am - 9:00pm.  For more information, click here.

Did You Know?
There were female and male overseers in the mills of Lowell in the 19th century. In Rev. Henry Miles' book, Lowell As It Was, and As It Is, he mentions that the Boott Cotton Mills has recently opened a new weave room and it is being overseen by two women overseers.
