The museum includes an operating 1920s weave room, and visitors are encouraged to begin their visit at the National Park Visitor Center at 246 Market Street.
Free parking is available at the Hamilton Canal Innovation District parking garage at 350 Dutton Street. Parking in this garage (only) is available to National Park visitors at no cost provided they obtain a valid parking voucher at either the Visitor Center or at the Boott Cotton Mills Museum. If you park in other City of Lowell garages or if you do not show a voucher when you exit that garage, you will be charged the posted rates for City garages.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day is one of five fee-free days this year. The others are April 16 (First Day of National Park Week), August 4 (Great American Outdoors Act Anniversary), September 24 (National Public Lands Day), and November 11 (Veterans Day). Get more information here.
