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.

The hotel is undergoing renovations. We may have been on a floor that had yet to be renovated. A lamp and a charger were unplugged. But the room was clean and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable. We would stay there again.
