Industrial village turned thriving central district

Officially separating from Sutton in 1813 to become a distinct incorporated town, Millbury was once an industrial village producing textiles, guns, and lumber through mills along the Blackstone River. Today, the neighborhood of Millbury is a thriving central district with suburban homes and a New England small-town atmosphere. The village of Millbury is the northernmost town in the Blackstone River Valley, and it is the first town south of bustling Worcester. Much of Millbury's amenities are insulated; the city has its own school district, its own mall and a pedestrian trail for recreation that residents can access through the neighborhood.

Preserving downtown through the Millbury Historical Society

Downtown Millbury is also a historic district, preserving centuries-old buildings like the Asa Waters Mansion, a 19th-century Georgian-style estate on Elm Street. The mansion also hosts the Millbury Historical Society, which hosts events and exhibits highlighting the town's history. Millbury Public Library was built as one of the original Carnegie libraries in 1915 and faithfully served the city for over a century.

A combination of historic, midcentury and new construction

Laura Poulin-Harkins, a 20-year Realtor with Emerson Realtors, says, "The houses in town are a combination of historic, midcentury and new construction homes." Single-family homes in Millbury range from $300,000 to $650,000, varying by age and square footage. Millbury's streets are grid-patterned, with businesses and houses close to one another. The neighborhood is populated with Cape Cod and colonial homes and occasional condos, but more residents own their homes rather than rent them. Several roads are bridges that cross the churning Blackstone River that runs through town.

Walk or bike the rail trail to Worcester

The Blackstone River Bikeway is a rail trail that cuts through New England trees on the way to Worcester. One main access point for the path is through the Millbury neighborhood, giving residents pedestrian access to and from Worcester. Dorothy Pond is a 21-acre lake in town where residents can picnic under shady trees, kayak or fish for yellow bullheads and chain pickerel.

Worcester dining and a mall right at home

I Love Frankie's, also called Worcester's Best Pizza, is 5 miles from Millbury and serves cheesesteaks, sausage subs and hot New York-style pies. There's also The Shops at Blackstone Valley, Millbury's outdoor mall just across Massachusetts state Route 146, featuring more than 50 retailers to browse through, from Best Buy and Target to dining at Panera or Applebee's.

Take the bus or drive on Mass Pike

There are five WRTA bus stops on the Route 4 line in Millbury, which can easily take residents from downtown to The Shops at Blackstone Valley Mall. Driving is also prevalent in Millbury; as Harkins says, "You'd need a car to access the amenities in places like Worcester." MA-146 and Interstate 90, also known as Mass Turnpike, are two auxiliary highways adjacent to Millbury. Residents can take MA-146 north to Worcester in just 6 miles or south 34 miles to Providence, Rhode Island. Alternatively, the Mass Turnpike makes for a 46-mile commute to downtown Boston from Millbury. The neighborhood of Millbury showcases the town's history through its preserved buildings and benefits residents with its simple highway access to urban centers to the north, south and east.
