Ashby

The Town of Ashby is a small rural community with a friendly atmosphere, located in the north central section of Massachusetts. It is a residential community that retains many of the farms and orchards that have enhanced the residents' pride in its beauty. The town is also home of the Willard Brook State Park, which provides recreational activities for town residents, as well as those from throughout the State that come to enjoy its offerings.


The town is also prideful of its rich and varied history. From pre-colonial times to the Revolutionary War, Ashby played an instrumental role in the formation of the Colony and Independence. The town's historic burial grounds provide testimony to this. In the pre-Civil War era, the town was a station on the Underground Railway for slaves going to Canada. The twentieth century saw the development of mills, and service in two World Wars to Desert Storm. Throughout it all, the character and pride of the town has grown, leading to a high degree of community spirit and service.
