Lynn Heritage State Park is a history-themed state park in downtown Lynn, Massachusetts, that is part of the Metropolitan Park System of Greater Boston. It opened in 1986.[2] Exhibits in the visitors center highlight the city's industrial past, the tradition of shoemaking and its transition from a handicraft to mechanization, and the story of Elihu Thomson, an engineer and inventor instrumental in the founding of General Electric.[3] The park offers guided tours and a self-guided walking tour and includes the nearby 4-acre (1.6 ha) Waterfront Park, located at Lynn Harbor.[3][4]
