After more extensive research on the towns I had visited in the past few weeks, I decided that it was time to visit all the town halls in the areas where I did not take many photographs. My first stop was Oxford along Main Street.

| Oxford Town Hall |
Other places I visited today in Oxford included St. Ann's Church at 652 Main Street and
Oxford High School.

Next on the list was Leicester. I
had not taken much pictures here, so I decided to give it another go. I was not disappointed.
 |
Leicester Town Common
on Paxton Street and Washburn Square |
|
On my way to Paxton, I also spotted other water bodies in Leicester that had nice views, as well as nice views of the
Worcester Regional Airport.

Kettle Brook Reservoir 2
on Mannville Street
and Paxton Street |

In Paxton, it was the war memorials on the corner of Richards Avenue and Pleasant Street that caught my eye.
Next was Kendall Reservoir on Kendall Road and South Road, the
Gale Free Public Library and the
First Congregational Church in Holden.

In West Boylston, it was the town common on Church Street and Worcester Street that caught my eye.

 |
Our Lady of Good Counsel,
111 Worcester Street |
The Sterling town common on Main Street and Meetinghouse Hill Road is pretty nice as well, with a statue of Mary Sawyer's lamb in the children's song "Mary had a Little Lamb".

| Firefighter Memorial |

Today was also the last day of the annual
Bolton Fair in Lancaster at the Lancaster Fairgrounds, so I decided to go take a look. The views from the parking lot which was on the slopes of a hill opposite the fair were fantastic.

In Bolton, the
Bolton Public Library,
Florence Sawyer School and
Nashoba Regional High School were interesting architectural structures.

In the town of Berlin, the only building that I could find that was of even remote interest was the
First Parish Church.
On the way to the Hudson town center, I passed by the Highland Commons Shopping Malls on Coolidge Street and Highland Common Road East, which is pretty impressive for a strip mall, complete with fountains on the side.
The Hudson town center is a pretty historic area, with Liberty Park next to the
Hudson Public Library, the nearby roundabout and the town hall itself.
