	Park Museum Collection Profiles (NPS)
		Lowell, Massachusetts - the concept - began as an American industrial utopia built upon practical design, building an industry and giving opportunity to women while earning the praise of such notables as Andrew Jackson and Charles Dickens.
		Founded at the confluence of the Concord and Merrimack rivers, Lowell was the third incorporated city in Massachusetts and one of the nation's first planned cities.
		Many of these new workers were New England farm women who lived in company housing, ate company food, worked 12-hour days six days a week, and survived a work day whose every waking hour was controlled by bells.
