Harvard




Almost everyone who drives through Harvard falls in love with it, and it's easy to understand why. The town has jealously guarded its small-town, country quaintness, and is working hard to preserve it, through the Conservation Commission and the Harvard Conservation Trust. Whatever the season, Harvard's rural byways are relaxing and beautiful, in an unplanned, just-natural sort of way. There is a considerable amount of open space under the jurisdiction of both the town and the federal government, and the panoramic views from Harvard's hills can be breathtaking on a clear day. New construction occurs in isolated pockets, but not nearly as much as in adjoining towns. The town has set the minimum lot size at 1.5 acres (4.5 acres for a "hammerhead" lot), with minimum frontage of at least 180 feet.
