3M Methuen Community Life
3M Methuen is located 30 miles north of Boston Massachusetts and 5 miles south of the New Hampshire border. The Merrimack Valley metro area is actually made up of several separate cities and towns in Massachusetts and New Hampshire with the population expanding to greater than 600,000.
The Merrimack Valley contains a mixture of 19th-century industrial cities and mill complexes built to take advantage of the river's waterpower, modern suburbs (many built over towns dating from the 17th century), and some relatively rural areas.
Automobile travel through the Massachusetts section of the Merrimack Valley is served primarily by Interstate 495. From Lowell and Lawrence, U.S. Route 3 and Interstate 93, respectively, head north along the valley, joining in Manchester, New Hampshire.
The surrounding area is served by Boston’s Logan International Airport and the Manchester–Boston Regional Airport in Manchester, New Hampshire. The town of Methuen, Mass., is only 30 minutes from each airport.
Methuen is the home to business, education and various historical sites. Large public corporations and smaller family owned businesses make for a diverse business community. Educational opportunities and research resources are available at over 100 colleges within a 50 mile radius of Methuen, including UMASS (University of Massachusetts at Lowell), Merrimack College, MIT, Northeastern University and Boston University.
