Did you know that the Spalding House was built circa 1760 and is Lowell’s third oldest home?
Visit this colonial museum during Doors Open Lowell to discover the history of the property and its unique connection with Pawtucket Falls and the Merrimack River. You’ll learn how 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 for self-guided tours and Q&A with LP&CT staff.
Doors Open Extra: This year, the Spalding House is proud to showcase selected texts from the museum’s private library. The featured collection will illustrate the rich history of the Molly Varnum Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and their connection to the Greater Lowell community.
