Lowell
101 Thorndike St, Lowell, MA 01852
Lowell was built as a mill town during the American Industrial Revolution and today stands as a city filled with history and entertainment. The mills that were once the lifeblood of the textile industry have found new purpose, such as Mill No. 5, which is a haven for small local businesses. The same goes for Western Avenue Art Studios & Lofts, which gives local artists space to create and encourages visitors to check out the open art studios at the beginning of every month. There’s even Navigation Brewing Co. where you can enjoy drinks and food trucks. Visit the Boott Cotton Mills Museum, New England Quilt Museum, or Whistler House Museum of Art to learn more about historical figures, industry, and art that makes New England so unique.
If you’re looking to go further into the city, call a rideshare and catch a game or concert at the Tsongas Center. You can also catch a ride to Lowell Memorial Auditorium, where concerts, live dance and theater performances, conferences, and trade shows fill the events calendar. Take advantage of the unlimited ride $10 Weekend Pass and just take the train! Kids 11 and under ride for free.
