Westford Town Common
The heart of Westford for some 300 years, Westford Town Common is still integral to local life.
A triangular grassy space, the common is framed by beautiful architecture, including the Italianate Westford Town Hall (1875), the Federal-style First Parish Church (1794), the grand J. V. Fletcher Library (1895), and the Old Congregational Church (1829), now the Parish Center for the Arts.
There are several events on or near the common in the warmer months, like the Westford Farmers’ Market, close by at the The Roudenbush Community Center, and the First Parish’s Strawberry ‘N’ Arts Festival every June.
On the north side, opposite the Town Hall, you can get onto the Tom Paul Trail, maintained by the Westford Conservation Trust and meandering through the town for 2.5 miles.
