The
Town of Stow Mass is situated midway between Boston and Worcester and is
a small residential community with rural aspects. The town boasts several
apple orchards which are a beautiful sight to behold in spring and which
attract many people in the early fall for apple picking. In addition, there
are two sheep farms, one which conducts an "open barn" in the spring; a
very popular event for children to view and pet the new lambs.
Stow has one of the finest public
golf courses in the country, Stow Acres Country Club, with the addition
of a third and fourth golf course now under construction. The town plans
to become the golfing center of the northeast. A private airport and Lake
Boon, which has become an attractive year-around residential area are sources
of pride to the community as well as Plantation Apartments for seniors,
Pilot Grove Hill and Stow Farms which is currently under construction in
conjunction with the Local Initiative Program of DHCD.
Previous to its incorporation in
1683, Stow was called Pompositticut Plantation. The community is concerned
with preserving Stow's historical past, but encouragement for residential
growth that is protective to current residents and those who will make
Stow their home in the future. There are many fine old homes in Stow which
reflect its history.
Stow Mass is located in Eastern Massachusetts,
bordered by Hudson on the south, Bolton and Harvard on the west, Boxborough
and Acton on the north, and Maynard and Sudbury on the east. Stow is about
25 miles northwest of Boston. |
