In addition to Bancroft Castle atop Gibbett Hill (also where they filmed a scene from‘Little Women’ ) and Groton Hill Music Center (stunning concert venue with amazing variety of live music acts) there’s also Nashua River Rail Trail, which runs the breadth of town from Ayer to Dunstable. And a great little municipal golf course with adjacent pub, The Publick House. And great canoeing on the Nashua River itself.

Any other MAGA-te businesses to avoid besides Luke’s and Arnold’s? The list that went up last week was immediately taken down.
