Lowell

Lowell City Hall and downtown aerial view panorama in downtown Lowell, Massachusetts, USA.
Part of Lowell National Park, this cotton weaving factory has a rich history. The town of Lowell was designed using the water to power the factory using a series belts and pulley's. Woman were the primary workers in the factories and the jobs were extremely dangerous.
Cute coffee place.
If you are a textile and industrial revolution fan, this is an amazing resource. I could visit over and over again. Come to think of it, I have.

So unimpressed. The rooms were old and bathroom sink had a foul smell. You could hear everything including water running through old pipes in the walls. Restaurant couldn't keep up with the large group staying there. Would never stay at this location again.
