2019 5 oz Silver ATB Lowell National Historical Park,Ma

Exquisitely struck in 5 ounces of .999 silver, the 2019 Lowell National Historical Park coin is the first of five 2019-dated releases and is the 46th in the America the Beautiful program. Lowell National Historical Park preserves and interprets the involvement of Lowell, Massachusetts in the Industrial Revolution, when the city played a major role in the booming textile industry. The era was also defined in part by the “Mill Girls,” young women who were recruited to work in the mills where they earned cash wages and lived in supervised, company-owned boarding houses. They became an important voice for labor by advocating for better working conditions, supporting abolition, and embracing education.
