The city of Lowell was the first planned industrial city in the United
States. Located in Massachusetts,
about 40 minutes northwest of Boston,
Lowell was intended to become a textile manufacturing center along the Merrimack
River. Today, Lowell is thriving with new businesses due to the technological
boom of the 1980s and its proximity to Boston. For a dose of local history, a
visit to the American
Textile History Museum is a great place to start. The ongoing exhibitions
display local history through the art and science of textiles. Another museum
of interest is the New
England Quilt Museum, which houses a large collection of antique quilts. Local
events such as the Lowell
Folk Festival attract a large following, with a multitude of folk performers,
ethnic food stands and craft displays every July. Lowell owes its rich cultural
scene to the many theaters located in town. The Lowell
Auditorium is located on the Concord
River and is considered the venue for local theatrical and cultural activities.
The Merrimack
Repertory Theatre produces seven shows per year during their season from September
to June.
