Lowell National Historical Park

Last updated: January 8, 2023

I love that I was able to take nine days and explore New England. While that’s definitely not enough time to thoroughly visit Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont, it was enough time to get just a taste to know I want to go back!

My main goal while in Massachusetts was to visit Salem and see all 15 National Park Service sites, but only had time for 13 (and I barely got those in!). Not to mention Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. Oh well… I guess I’ll have to go back, darn it. 😉

Lowell National Historical Park

The history of America’s Industrial Revolution is located here. Established in 1978, this site features so much, including; the Boott Cotton Mills Museum, “mill girl” boarding houses, and guided tours tell the story of America’s transition from farm to factory.
