Description
Forge Village: A forge is a shop where metal is heated, melted, and made malleable. An iron mine from Groton supplied Westford’s forges with iron. Westford’s forge shops made plows, pitchforks, and other farming tools. People who worked at the forge lived in neighborhoods clustered around the shop. This area eventually became known as Forge Village
