You can also visit a working dairy farm in the park and take a free guided tour. Celebrate a day well-spent at the ice cream stand afterward. On the other side of Cranberry Bog is the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail, which connects Acton, Carlisle, Chelmsford, Concord, Framingham, Lowell, Sudbury, and Westford, MA.

You are already close to the state’s fourth largest city, so pop over for a visit! It was founded as the country’s first planned manufacturing center for textiles.

It is home to the Lowell National Historic Park, the first urban national park, where you can learn about the Industrial Revolution and the area’s prominence.
Lowell has plenty to do for a night out on the town. Find live entertainment at Lowell Auditorium, Merrimack Repertory Theater, and the Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell. These host a range of shows, so you can catch local productions, as well as renowned shows from around the country.
