Lowell Quarter Release
Wednesday, February 6, 10:00 a.m., Lowell Memorial Auditorium, 50 E Merrimack St, Lowell
Join the United States Mint and the Lowell National Historical Park for the launch of Lowell’s commemorative U.S. quarter! After the ceremony, attendees will be able to exchange $10 in other denominations for a roll of Lowell quarters. A female textile worker, one of Lowell’s “mill girls,” is depicted tending to a power loom in the weave room of a Lowell cotton mill. Prominently featured is the large circular bobbin battery that kept the loom’s shuttle supplied with yarn. In the background, the iconic Boott Cotton Mills clocktower and smokestack appear through the window.
