Description
Slavery in Westford may be surprising, but there were at least 24 enslaved individuals in the town of Westford from 1730 to 1780. There is little in the historical record of these individuals and their lives, however some information has been compiled in an attempt to present what their lives may have been like and to learn more about them.
Leslie Howard, President of the Westford Historical Society, will share her research of Peggy who was enslaved by Joseph Hildreth, Jr. and the other enslaved individuals in town.
