Lowell, MA - Lowell National Historical Park is waiving museum fees at the Boott Cotton Mills Museum January 15 -17, 2011. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar yesterday announced that the NPS will waive admission fees on 17 selected dates throughout 2011 and encouraged all Americans to make a New Year's resolution to visit a national park this year.
