Description
Join a panel of historians for a special Lowell Talks focused on the history and legacy of the Irish canal builders in eastern Massachusetts. This panel will include historians Dave McKean, Robert Forrant, Kate Viens, and Jermiah Breen. The program will be moderated by park ranger Frank Clark.
The canals of Lowell powered dozens of textile mills that defined the region. Irish canal builders helped reshape the physical and cultural landscape of Middlesex County.
