Spalding House Second Sundays
Event Date:
Start Time: 2:00 PM
End Time: 4:00 PM
Location: Spalding House
383 Pawtucket Street, Lowell, MA
We have made it our mission to preserve not only parks and open spaces, but special places in the city of Lowell – and the Spalding House certainly qualifies as special.
With the house’s historic connection with the Pawtucket Falls and the Merrimack River, the Spalding House signifies the many ways in which the relationship between people and the river has shifted over the years; from providing abundant fish to abundant hydro-power.
Explore this relationship and more as we open up the Spalding House to the public for family friendly activities, usually the second Sunday of every month from 2 pm to 4 pm!
Upcoming Sunday programs:
December 9th
