Stow

The Town of Stow 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.
