Very interesting museum with a well told story
This was a fascinating museum... I know very little about the mill industry but this museum told the story from the earliest days very well. From the experience of the mill girls, to why Lowell, to the machinery itself - all aspects were covered. I learned a lot.

So interesting
A dive into the Industrial Revolution. This museum was fascinating. I loved the weave room. Only 10 machines were running and it was incredibly loud. Cannot imagine 200 machines running as they were in 1910's. Mike, the docent, was so knowledgable about the looms and how they work. We learned so much. This a fantastic self-guided tour.
