Nabnasset is the fifth and final theme in our Villages of Westford series. It began as a farming community and later incorporated the mills at Brookside. In the late 19th century, the recreational land surrounding Nab Lake was referred to as “Nabnasset Grove.” During the 1930s and 1940s, a summer community developed in the area, complete with a country club and a summer theater.
A 4’x8′ mural donated to the Museum by Terri McGrath is the centerpiece of the Nabnasset exhibit.
