The essential attraction in the park is the Boott Cotton Mills Museum, where you’ll get the story of this planned industrial city and the inventors, engineers, investors and workers who made it possible. Those giant mill complexes, many of which are still intact, were powered by an intricate canal network, and this remarkable cityscape is preserved by the Lowell National Historical Park. In the mid-19th century this was America’s industrial powerhouse as a center for textile manufacturing.
