Westborough's 300th Anniversary Year is Underway!
The 300th Anniversary Planning Committee is very busy planning events for the folks in town to enjoy and celebrate this special milestone!
Please check out the Westborough 300th Anniversary website at westborough300.com to learn all about the many plans and projects the committee is working on to make 2017 a great year. Here are some of the highlights:
The 1717 Shoppe, our commemorative store, is filled with many items including the works of local artists, the books of local authors, and the handmade creations of local artisans. Our store features an art gallery with featured artists that rotate each month. We are also selling many 300th branded items of clothing, glassware, home decor, and even specialty items for children and golfers! The 1717 Shoppe is located in the Westborough Shopping Center on Lyman Street, Westborough.
The Westborough Historical Society and our Library is sponsoring many historical walks and talks all about our town's history and the people who helped to mold it. For a full schedule, please see our website.
