I am startled by the reference to canals from the Merrimac to the Charles River. Can someone provide a reference? I should think I would have heard of that before, but I have not. That would have been a long canal. Are there any vestiges of it remaining today? Davidb0229 16:19, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That would be the Middlesex Canal, a 27 mile long barge canal built to connect the Merrimack with the port of Boston. More info can be found here, and here --Nebular110 17:36, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Overall, the article was informative and it was great to see that the history of Lowell was included. The first reference "National Park Service Visitor Use Statistics". National Park Service. Retrieved 2012-10-06. Is no longer functional. -Maddiegear (talk) 17:48, 26 September 2020 (UTC).[reply]
A ranger removed "oldest national historical park" as false. I did a little more research because this is an often repeated claim in Lowell, and the ranger is correct: George_Rogers_Clark_National_Historical_Park for example is older. Is there a superlative for Lowell, and if so, what is it exactly? Thanks, CSZero (talk) 15:56, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
