This LHC exhibit tracks the 100 plus year history of the Union Crossing site - from manufacturing textiles, shoes, clothing (Grieco and Southwick), to creating this vibrant new Lawrence community. Focusing on themes of "People, Place and Product" the exhibit highlights transformations that took place in the complex and celebrates the spirit of community present throughout the site's history. Made in America formally opened June 25, 2009 at Lawrence Heritage State Park, 1 Jackson Street, Lawrence, MA
Exhibit will run through the last week-end in August.
