Iron Work Farm

A special walking tour, led by archaeologist Kimberley Connors, will visit the archaeological

remains of Mill Corner, the oldest English settlement in Acton. Hear the history and see what remains from the early “farm” of the Concord Iron Works Company (c. 1660). Today this is the conjunction of Main, School, Railroad, River and High Streets with Fort Pond Brook and two 19th century railroads. The English settlers built homes and mills here at the start of what became Acton in 1735, and the center of life and commerce in Acton. Meet at the Jones-Faulkner House, at 5 High Street, the oldest structure in town. Registration required, athttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/south-acton-archaeology-tour-tickets-1997977802391?aff=oddtdtcreator
