Moving To or From Lancaster MA?

Lancaster is the oldest town in Worcester County. It was settled in 1643 as Nashaway, after the local Nashaway people, and incorporated in 1653 as "Lancaster on the Nashua," named for the English town where its founder John Prescott was born. The town center sits at the "Meeting of the Waters," where the north and south branches of the Nashua River join, and Lancaster was the mother town for several nearby communities, including Harvard, Bolton, Leominster, Sterling, Berlin, Boylston, West Boylston and Clinton. Today it has 8,441 residents (2020 census) spread across roughly 27.5 square miles.

The landmark on the Town Green is the First Church of Christ, known as the Bulfinch Church, designed by Charles Bulfinch and completed in 1816. It is a National Historic Landmark, and the Center Village District around it is on the National Register of Historic Places. In the south of town, the village of South Lancaster is the site of the former Atlantic Union College, which closed in 2018. If you are looking for movers Lancaster MA residents trust, you need a crew that is comfortable with centuries-old homes, long rural roads and the care that heirloom furniture deserves.
