About this Event

Join us every second Saturday of the month at 1pm to learn more about area and industrial history, engineering, archeology, water access and more from experts in a variety of fields. On October 11th, Ken Weber, formerly of the National Park Service at Lowell, will share gems from the digitization project of the Proprietors of Locks and Canals on Merrimack River photograph collection. These historic images will help to illuminate aspects of the area's industrial heritage.

All events are upstairs in the Overlook Gallery. The presentations are free and open to everyone, including walk-in visitors, space permitting. Please help us monitor capacity by reserving your FREE tickets in advance.
