Lunenburg

Lunenburg is a small, historic town in north-central Massachusetts, about 45 miles northwest of Boston near the New Hampshire border. Originally settled in 1718, the town is known for its well-preserved Colonial and Federal architecture, including numerous buildings on the National Register of Historic Places. Lunenburg maintains a rural New England character with a traditional town common, apple orchards, and a strong sense of community in this area where Massachusetts begins to transition into more countryside.
