Harvard
Harvard (the town, not the university) is one of the wealthiest small towns in Massachusetts, with conservation land covering more than a third of the town and a school district that routinely ranks in the state's top 20. Fruitlands Museum and the Nashua River trail system give this rural enclave unusual cultural depth.
