Cambridge Grant Historic District
Cambridge Grant Historic District, Historic district on Russell Hill Road in Ashburnham, Massachusetts.
The Cambridge Grant Historic District extends across 322 acres of land at an elevation between 1240 and 1300 feet, featuring Federal period residences and outbuildings.
The district originated from a 1000-acre land grant given to Cambridge in 1734 for maintaining the first bridge across the Charles River connecting Boston to northern settlements.
The district transformed into an arts community in the early 1900s, with resident artists and writers participating in outdoor theatrical performances near the historic homes.
The district contains seven Federal Architecture period homes constructed between 1787 and 1834, along with the Russell-Burbank family cemetery established in 1848.
The Walter Russell House contains some of the earliest known murals from the Rufus Porter school of itinerant wall painters in Massachusetts.
