Acton Residents Invited To Step Back In Time With Village History Walk
Local history lovers will lead a Saturday morning stroll through West Acton, uncovering stories hiding in plain sight.
ACTON, MA — Sometimes the best way to explore your hometown is to slow down and take a walk. West Acton residents and history enthusiasts will have that opportunity today during a guided historical walk led by local historian Richard Hilton.
The walk begins at 10 a.m. at the West Acton Citizens' Library, 21 Windsor Ave. Space is limited, and advance registration is required. It's a fun reminder that Acton's history is right outside our front doors.
Participants will discover how the village grew around the railroad, which arrived in 1845, and learn about the businesses, churches and tradespeople that helped shape the community.
