Whistler House with Courtyard

This is James McNeill Whistler's birthplace. The family left when he was three and when he was 21 he left The US and lived as an expatriate the rest of his life. The home to furnished with period furniture and is full of art, by Whistler, Arshile Gorky, and local artists, as well as traveling temporary exhibitions. There is a lovely park next to the house that has benches around a lawn, and a sculpture of Whistler. The museum is kind of a hidden gem in Lowell, and is well worth a visit.

I was pleasantly surprised by the Whistler House Museum. It's a charming, historic home with a number of interesting paintings. There was a newly renovated/opened floor when I stopped in, and a number of the rooms are maintained as they were in Whistler's time. The often have little receptions with wine, and there's a lovely garden/park to the side of the house. If you're in Lowell, I'd definitely recommend visiting.

Great set of museums, you likely won't spend more than 2 hours in any of them. I wouldn't pay the ad.mission price for just one of the museum's but it's not bad if you see more than one in a full day. Plenty of places to picnic too. A lot of interactive stuff that actually works! I would reccomend.

Doors were locked yet sign said they were open. Online said they were open. No one rang us in when we tried the buzzer and knocking. Plus the place was kind of Hard to find.

It's a wonderful place to visit..
