Geocache Description:

The spot where I put this cache has lots of history and is a great place for taking pictures and or paintings as there has been lots of paintings and pictures taken over the years. Pawtucket Falls is the name of a waterfall on the Merrimack River at Lowell, Massachusetts. The waterfall and rapids below it drop a total of 32 feet in a little under a mile, and was an important fishing ground for the Pennacook Indians in pre-colonial times.

Here is some History on the Pawtucket Falls.Not a whole bunch of muggles go by the area so should be easy to obtain. Congrats to TnV2004 for being the FTF.

The city of Lowell rose to fame as the birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution. Its earliest history and development are anchored on the Pawtucket Falls, just above the junction between the Merrimack River and the Concord River.

The Pennacook Indians, the native dwellers in the area, centered on the Pawtucket Falls where they lived off the land for many generations. Various tribes met regularly at the Falls to fish, enjoying the abundance of salmon and sturgeon that were commonly found in the area.

The Merrimack Manufacturing Company, an offshoot of the Boston Manufacturing Company run by Warren Dutton, Ezra Worthen, and Kirk Boott, among others, opened its first textile mill in 1823. The Boot Mill as it became known, was Lowell’s first textile mill. A year after the mill was built, the first school and church were founded in Lowell, and in 1831, St. Patrick’s Church was built as one of the first Catholic churches in the area north of Boston, in a neighborhood known as the Acre. A tremendous canal system was developed in Lowell, which helped foster the growth of the textile mill in the city.

Lowell was one of the first true American factory towns. Due to the booming textile business in the early 19th century, the area began welcoming immigrants from Canada, Germany, Ireland and several other European countries. These immigrants flocked to Lowell to secure one of the many jobs available within the mills.
