The Life From The Roots blog topics have changed several times since I began this blog in 2009. I initially wrote only about the family history I had been working on for 20 years. Years later, I was into visiting gardens, historical homes, churches, libraries that had genealogical collections, historical societies, war memorials, and travel/tourism places. I also enjoy posting autographs and photos of famous people I've met or have seen.

Along with my New England roots, other areas include New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada.

Please check out the labels on the right side for topics (please note, they need work). Below the labels and pageviews is a listing of my top nine posts, according to Google. Four of them pertain to Lowell, MA. These posts change often because they are based on what people are reading.

Completion of the Merrimack Riverwalk, along the Concord and Merrimack Rivers…See where they Meet

This is the 3rd post about the Merrimack Riverwalk. The bridge photo was taken before it opened. See at the end for parts 1 and 2, with plenty of interesting pictures. This photo was taken on September 29, 2022. However, I don't know the date it opened.

This was January 24, 2022. Eight months later, on September 29, 2022, I took the shot below.

The new walkway is very nice, to the right is the Concord River. The weather was perfect.
When the bridge finally opened, I walked over the bridge to the Massachusetts Mills complex.
The Massachusetts Mills complex is on the left, and the Concord River is on the right.




The Concord River meets the Merrimack River. The Merrimack meets the Atlantic Ocean on the right side.
This was taken from the Centralville side.


This walkway follows the Merrimack River.






The trail goes under the Bridge Street Bridge.

Looking back at the Bridge and the Massachusetts Mills.
As you can see, I had the walkway to myself!
You are now at the Boott Cotton Mills Museum. You can stop here or continue on.


This is the bottom of John Street.
