Let’s walk along Boston Rd together with Ellen Harde, and note the historic buildings, homes and sites that Kate Hamlin, born in Westford Center in 1847, writes of in her reminiscences of her neighborhood as it was 170 years ago.
Then we will head back to the Westford Museum for a more detailed discussion on the history of one of Westford’s most traveled roads. BOSTON Road.
