Welcome To
The Westford Museum & Historical Society
The Westford Museum is located near the historic town
Common at 2 Boston Road in Westford, Massachusetts. The office is at
4 Boston Road. The Museum houses a wonderful collection of artifacts
typical of small towns. If your interest is genealogy, be sure and contact
us as we have excellent materials covering many old Westford families.
And if old Westford houses interest you we have house histories as well.
We also have an almost complete collection of Westford Academy yearbooks,
many photographs of students and teachers, and other academy memorabilia.
If you are looking for a gift that is uniquely Westford, be sure and
check our Museum
Store page.
New
Westerwald Pottery is in!
Before you visit, double-check the Museum
Calendar as there are a few holiday Sundays when we are closed.
Don’t hesitate to send an e-mail or call ahead so we can have
our homework done for you before you visit. We look forward to
meeting you.

Discovering the Atwood-Millett Family in Westford
- When William Millett passed away in November of 2007, his estate
hired Carol Harper and Betsy Caney to organize the house in preparation
for putting it on the market. Carol and Betsy had no idea what to
expect as they ventured into the house. The personal belongings,
family papers, travel souvenirs and of course Bill's paintings led
them to a very personal discovery of a family. Betsy and Carol will
give a multi-media presentation about their experience, highlighting
the family members indivdual involvements in Westford. Please join
us on Thursday 18 September at 7:30 to hear their story.
