The Wannalancit Mills, previously known as the Suffolk Mills, are located in Lowell, Massachusetts. This early American cotton mill has parts that date back to the 1830s, making it a significant historical site. The mill's name is derived from Wonalancet, a leader of the Penacook Native American tribe.
The Mill's Christmas Tree Tradition
In 2000, the mill's smokestack was transformed into the city's largest Christmas tree, reaching a height of 256 feet. The annual lighting costs are approximately $30,000. In 2010, the 'tree' was not erected due to the high costs of lighting. However, since that year, the lighting has made a comeback.
