Hidden Leominster

I'm trying to make the most of my time off, so I've been tooling around the back roads of Leominster with my book of maps. Let me just say, with all of the recent development around here, there are still parts where the woods are thick and the roads are practically dirt. I love that.

One such place is down by Fall Brook Reservoir, specifically Wachusett Road. There I discovered the Vachon Wildlife Sanctuary, where the Grandview Country Club used to be. It's almost 150 acres of protected land, with the former clubhouse available for rental for events. Just a beautiful place. If you're local, check it out.
