The Lowell Historical Society
The Lowell Historical Society was established in 1902 as the corporate successor of the Old Residents' Historical Association, founded in 1868. The Society collects and preserves books, manuscripts, photographs, and objects of antiquarian and historical interest; encourages the study of local history; and publishes materials that illustrate and preserve the history of Lowell. The Society's books, manuscripts, and photographs are housed at the University of Massachusetts Lowell Center for Lowell History in the Patrick J. Mogan Cultural Center, a research library open to the public.
Whistler House Museum of Art
Whistler House Museum of Art, built circa 1825 by the Proprietors of Locks and Canals, represents the richness of the history and art of Lowell, Massachusetts. Forever cemented in history in 1834 as the birthplace of internationally renowned American artist James McNeill Whistler, the 200-year-old historic building has also served as the home of chief engineers to Proprietors of Locks and Canals, a boarding house to Lowell Mill workers, and the headquarters of the Lowell Art Association. In 1908, the building became the permanent home of the Lowell Art Association – the oldest incorporated art association in the country – which owns and operates the house as a historic site and art museum. Today, the WHMA maintains a permanent collection of American art, organizes contemporary and historical fine arts exhibitions, and offers educational and cultural programs for the entire community.
