Harvard, Massachusetts is a well-preserved rural community with an interesting history extending back to 1732, when it was first incorporated. Throughout its 250 years, Harvard has been known for a series of unusual sociological and religious experiments.

The most famous of these were carried out by Mother Ann Lee, who came to live in Harvard in 1781 and founded a Shaker village that still stands, and Bronson Alcott, who carried out a transcendental experiment living with his family and friends here in 1843. The farmhouse where the Alcotts lived was called Fruitlands and is now part of the Fruitlands Museum on Prospect Hill.

Harvard residents enjoy the intimacy of rural New England; annual events include the Fourth of July parade, Apple Blossom Festival and many others, the majority of which take place in the vicinity of the historic town common. Townspeople flock to Bare Hill Pond in the summer for swimming, sailing and canoeing and return in the winter for cross country skiing and skating.

With over 2,000 acres of conservation land, Harvard offers abundant walking trails and natural scenery for nature lovers and hikers alike. Acquisition of wetlands, especially along the Bowers Brook greenway, has also been a municipal priority. The school system in Harvard has the highest rating in Worcester County and is a major reason why many families with young children choose to live in Harvard.
