In October 1991, Lowell National Historical Park and the UMass Lowell Graduate School of Education opened a unique education center to encourage and facilitate the study of Lowell's industrial history through hands-on activities and use of Park resources.
The Tsongas Industrial History Center is celebrating its 20th anniversary throughout the 2011-12 school year, starting with a "birthday" party and continuing with a series of activities for students, teachers, families and the general public throughout the year. Discover why over a million students and teachers have visited the Tsongas Industrial History Center to learn about history and culture, technology and engineering, and more!
