Stow blends pastoral scenery with day-to-day convenience, set along Route 117 between Concord, Maynard, and Hudson, and minutes from Acton’s MBTA station for easy trips to Boston. Rolling orchards and protected open space shape the landscape, giving residents four seasons of things to do close to home.
Trails fan out through the Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge, where boardwalks, wildlife viewing, and quiet ponds invite after-work resets and weekend hikes. The nonprofit Stow Conservation Trust stewards additional preserves, from piney town forests to meadow loops perfect for family walks. Fall brings beloved apple-picking at Honey Pot Hill Orchards and cider donuts at Shelburne Farm, while aviators and spectators alike enjoy community fly-ins and events at Minute Man Air Field.
Families appreciate strong schools in the Nashoba Regional School District; Stow’s Center School and Hale Middle School lead to Nashoba Regional High School in nearby Bolton. Learning continues at the Randall Library, which hosts story times, maker activities, and museum passes. Town services, recreation programs, and conservation maps are easy to access through the Town of Stow website.
