The Tsongas Industrial History Center invites educators from across the U.S. to Lowell, MA, for “Inventing America: Lowell and the Industrial Revolution,” a week-long summer workshop funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The “Inventing America” workshops combine scholarly presentations with on-site investigations of the canals, mills, worker housing, and exhibits of Lowell National Historical Park. In addition to Lowell’s landmark resources, we will use drama, historical fiction, hands-on simulations, and field studies at Old Sturbridge Village, Walden Pond, and Concord, MA, to bring history to life.
