Events
Westford was officially incorporated in 1729, after splitting from the neighboring town of Chelmsford. Westford has ties to the American Revolutionary War – Samuel Prescott took his “midnight ride” to Westford – while Paul Revere went to Lexington - to alert the town’s minutemen of the arrival of the British. Revere’s son attended the original Westford Academy in Westford, which is now the town’s history museum.
Today, residents enjoy the many activities that Westford has to offer. During the early part of the year, snow sculpting contests take place – and fall activities include the Family Fun Run and Fall Festival at Kimball Farms. Go skiing at the Nashoba Valley Ski Area which includes seventeen trails and a snow tubing park. Interstate 495 provides easy access to neighboring communities, plus shopping and restaurants at Cornerstone Square. In the central north part of Westford, you’ll discover natural landscapes like Stony Brook Conservation, Grassy- and Cider Mill Pond Conservation.
