Women have found different ways to claim independence over time, even when it wasn’t readily given. Join a ranger for this 1-hour walking tour of downtown Lowell to learn how the buildings that created the city of Lowell also offered women a chance at independence previously unheard of. Explore some of the ways the women of Lowell were able to gain access to bank accounts, own and manage property, and decide how to spend their hard-earned wages.
The walk will cover 0.75 miles of walking and will involve up to an hour of walking and standing. This event is free and open to all.
(Free parking at 350 Dutton Street in the Hamilton Parking Garage. Pick up a chaser ticket at the Visitor Center front desk to use when exiting the garage).
