Welcome to Lowell!

 The story of Lowell is a powerful experience within a landscape that has much to offer. The revolutionary thinking that took place in the 19th century continues into the 21st century. The creation of this national park is one of those revolutionary ideas that was spawned with great public enthusiasm. Here we tell the stories of innovation in technology and engineering and of people who came from faraway lands looking to make a better life for themselves and their families.

Today, we offer opportunities to experience Lowell in exciting ways. Ride the rails on the historic replica trolleys, cruise the canals aboard one of our four tour boats, or walk along the Riverwalk or Canalway to one of many museums and historic sites within the Park. The evenings are filled with the sounds of music as we celebrate our 20th anniversary of the Lowell Summer Music Series at Boarding House Park. The Lowell Folk Festival is the main event in July as over 100,000 people come to Lowell and the Park to celebrate traditional music, ethnic foods and crafts.

Welcome! We look forward to hosting your trip to Lowell National Historical Park.
