Embark on the Lowell Audio Tour: Canals, Cathedrals & Creative Spirits Unveiled

Spinning wheels once thundered through Lowell’s streets, powering more than fabric—sparking fierce battles for equality and the secret dreams of mill girls behind brick walls. This self-guided audio tour opens doors most visitors walk past, layering lost stories over familiar sidewalks and letting you move at your own pace.

What urgent message led desperate workers to defy factory bosses in the heart of the mills? Which ghostly rumor quietly haunts the shelves of the Pollard Memorial Library? Why did an engineer bury a coded letter beneath the Pawtucket Gatehouse, and what has it kept secret for a century?

Winding through canals, libraries, and gatehouses, every turn ripples with discovery. Feel the tension of rebellion beneath your feet and glimpse Lowell’s soul in flickers of shadow and steam. Listen, look closer, and find a city transformed.

Unlock Lowell’s hidden engines—press play and let the city’s boldest moments rise again.
