The Spalding House’s historic connection with the Pawtucket Falls and the Merrimack River 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 tours and for family-friendly activities, usually the second Sunday of every month.

Nov 10th- Fall Open House

Join us on November 10th, from 2 PM to 4 PM for an engaging exploration of the land use changes that have shaped the Spalding House and the Lowell area for centuries.

This month, we’ll delve into the historical impact of these waterways on local inhabitants. Tour the house, discover the beautiful falls—once a vital fishing area for Native Americans—and learn about the evolution of land use from indigenous peoples to the era of the Moses Davis Tavern.

Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with history and appreciate the changes over time!
