Today we honor and remember all who have served th Today we honor and remember all who have served this country.  With the exception of the Revolutionary War, Lowell’s Boat Shop has been in existence through every conflict this country has had.  While the records don’t exist from long ago we are certain that over the 229 years of business that several of the men and women who have worked at Lowell’s served, in one way or another, our country.
To all who have given the ultimate sacrifice we thank you.

He’s just gotten out of the Navy and has started working for @modernheritagellc and helping us out in the afternoons.
