Steele Farm Open House

Every May, Freedom's Way, a consortium of 45 cities and towns that were involved in the events of April 1775, sponsors a "Hidden Treasures" event to highlight notable items and places in each municipality. This year Boxborough’s Hidden Treasure is the Steele Farm and its buildings.

Steele Farm is a thirty-six-acre historic New England farmscape located at 484 Middle Road. This open and expansive landscape provides commanding views, historic structures, recreational opportunities, and wildlife habitat for many species. There are three buildings on the property: The 1784 Levi Wetherbee farmhouse; the circa 1904 Richardson ice house, and the early 1940’s Steele barn.

There will be an open house on Sunday May 18th, from 2-4 PM where volunteers from the Steele Farm Committee and the Boxborough Historical Society will be on-hand for questions about Steele Farm. The barn and ice house will be open for self-tours and visitors will be able to see inside the farmhouse, but won’t be able to go in. No registration is needed.
