| Additional information |
Lowell, Massachusetts was the planned industrial city — built from scratch in the 1820s to house textile mills powered by the Merrimack River's diverted flow. It became the model for American industrial capitalism and, less celebrated, the site of some of the earliest organized labor actions by women workers in the United States. The National Historical Park was established in 1978 specifically to preserve the canal system and mill buildings rather than a battlefield or monument.
This five-ounce silver issue belongs to the America the Beautiful bullion series, which ran from 2010 through 2021. The Lowell release was one of five parks struck in 2019.
