American Textile History Museum, Industrial textile museum in Lowell, United States
The American Textile History Museum displayed machinery, photographs, artifacts, and documents related to textile manufacturing across multiple exhibition spaces.
Founded in 1960 as the Merrimack Valley Textile Museum, the institution moved to Lowell in 1997 and operated until its closure in 2016.
The museum established the American Textile Hall of Fame in 2001 to recognize individuals and corporations who shaped the textile manufacturing industry.

Caroline Stevens Rogers initiated the museum by collecting over fifty spinning wheels and various tools essential for early cloth production methods.
