Lynn Heritage State Park, Historical museum and state park in Lynn, Massachusetts.
Lynn Heritage State Park is a state park in Lynn stretching along the harbor with a waterfront boardwalk and views of Massachusetts Bay. The walkway includes benches, shelters, restrooms, and parking areas for visitors.
The park opened in 1986 on the former site of the Lynn Glassworks factory and preserves the industrial past of this coastal city. The transformation of an old manufacturing site into a public space shows how the community repurposed its history.
The Lynn Museum and Historical Society display exhibits about local shoemaking traditions and how manufacturing methods evolved in this area. You can see how craftspeople worked and what drove the changes that shaped the community.
The park has accessible pathways and offers parking, benches, and restrooms throughout the grounds. It is easily reached from Route 128 and I-95 via Route 129 East.
A nine-panel mosaic wall made of ceramic and Venetian glass lines the boardwalk and shows the history and coastal features of Lynn. The detailed artwork blends the city's industrial story with visual elements that reflect the harbor's character.
