Try weaving and engineering at the Boott Cotton Mills!

Lowell National Historical Park and the Tsongas Industrial History Center are excited to offer hands-on workshops for everyone to come and experience history by doing! Drop by our educational workshop spaces to discover the Industrial Revolution and its legacies. Weave on a four-harness loom or try your hand at an engineering challenge.

It is a 15 minute walk to the Boott Cotton Mills from the HCID garage.
