We loved our time at the museum. Learned so much and appreciated a small glimpse into what life was like for some many from our family generations ago.

This place is great. I'm not one for going to historical places but I like this place. Very interesting to learn about lowells history, and the tour guide was very nice, and gave very specific info. Although, despite it being good, I'm torn if I would go back
