by Margaret Lee

You are currently on vacation right now in Lowell, Massachusetts, and are there probably for more than just rest and relaxation. Perhaps you also want to delve into some local history by visiting some <a href="www.nequiltmuseum.org/">museums Lowell</a> has to offer. Do read on in this article for some of the more interesting museums you can go visit.

It may be a good idea first to have a map for the local area so you can plot your visits much better and make the most of your time. Having a map will go a long way in making sure your daily trips and excursions are more efficiently planned and productive.

Probably a good first place to visit will be the Boots Museum. This is a place dedicated to the town and what it went through in the early days of the Industrial revolution in America, around the time when the cotton gin was invented. It showcases in particular how hard life was for the industrial workers of the day and it will bring back a bit of nostalgia.

Western Avenue Studios is a hybrid museum geared mostly for art buffs and the like. It is a huge building with over two hundred working art workshops that are open only to the public on the first Saturday of each month. The general gallery however is open from Wednesday to Sunday. This is the place for you if you love art with a bit of exploration ad discovery on the side. However, should this place be not up to your liking, you can always have fun at the Navigation Brewery next door where they serve craft beer and plenty of local food creations.

A visit to the New England Quilt Museum might also be a warranted experience. Quilting is a total American art form and should be given its own place in history. The place showcases creations from the past in the form of antique quilts and some more modern and contemporary. They also have classes and lectures on the craft to help assure its survival into the modern age.

Those who love trains, whether big or small, may be interested to visit the National Streetcar Museum, a specialty museum dedicated to trams and related street transport. It is a great place for families with children. A hands on section exists on the second floor where you can play at being tram operators and do a bit of roleplay if you want while playing with various miniaturized versions of trams and such.

And last but not the least, people should visit the Mogan Cultural Center. It is a great place to visit and give homage and respect to the area's rich multiethnic culture. The museum is not only a treasure trove of local Lowell information, but serves as a snapshot for the entire state when cotton milling pushed America into the Industrial Age.

This article has thus shown you some possible places to visit while in Lowell. There are of course plenty of other places to visit that may be of interest, but what is important is that you have an open mind in absorbing new sights and information to make your stay worthwhile.
