Our mission here at the Patrick J. Mogan Cultural Center is to "tell the human story of Lowell" through community-sponsored exhibits, projects and programs. We are located at 40 French Street, in a renovated brick building that was originally a corporation boardinghouse block for young women working in the textile mills. We are historical, we tell the story of past residents in this exceptional city. And we are contemporary. We form a bridge between the city, its community groups, the University of Massachusetts Lowell and Lowell National Historical Park. We strive to play a positive role among groups and also to advance cultural and historical activities within the city.
