Drained by the Saugus River, this 254-acre great pond is a defining part of the Wakefield townscape. Lake Quannapowitt is tied to the town center by the Lower Common, which is right on the water’s edge. This is the site of the wood and granite bandstand, built in 1885 and still an important stage for outdoor performances in the summer. On the south...

The landscape is easy for families to discover as there’s a wide p...
Built as long ago as 1681, the historic Col. James Hartshorne House backs onto Lake Quannapowitt and is thought to be the oldest house in the town. For a long time this building was known as the Lafayette House, because at the turn of the 19th century it served as an inn named for the famous general. In 1929 the house was left unscathed by a fire t...

An enthralling piece of local heritage in Wakefield is the West Ward School, built in the Greek Revival style in 1847. This two-story building served its original purpose until as recently as 1998, when it was forced to close after the second floor ceiling started to show signs of giving way. The Wakefield Historical Society took over and restored ...

In Wakefield’s southern Greenwood section there’s a star of the scene that has been in business for more than 30 years.
