Lowell 2 days off. They first landed July 23, withdrew and spent the night on Grosse Ile. Officially, July 24 is the founding date.

Added January 5th as the day MCS closed...

The Wikipedia article actually has the incorrect date of closure, but I was not able to correct it for some reason. (And I do know some office workers worked there beyond January 5th, but January 5th was the last day it operated as a train station).
