From Downtown Fitchburg to Route 2 West

Downtown Fitchburg packs a lot of history into a walkable core — the Monument Park Historic District with its 1874 Victory statue by sculptor Martin Milmore, the 1895 Safety Fund National Bank on Main Street, and the 110-ton Rollstone Boulder perched on a downtown traffic island.
