The Tsongas Industrial History Center invites educators from across the U.S. to Lowell, Massachusetts, for a weeklong summer program, Inventing America: Lowell and the Industrial Revolution, 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, museums to bring history to life.

When: June 25-July 1; July 9-July 15; and July 30-August 5, 2006
Where: Tsongas Industrial History Center at the historic Boott Cotton Mills, Lowell, MA. (The Tsongas Center is a partnership of Lowell National Historical Park and UMass Lowell’s Graduate School of Education.)
Housing available at Lowell’s Doubletree Hotel or at UMass Lowell.
$500 stipends paid toward expenses.
