Millbury, Ma. Real Estate Information
Millbury borders Worcester and like many New England towns has a long history as a mill town. The Blackstone River, which flows through Millbury, offered cheap transportation from Worcester to Providence. There were nine locks along the river to raise and lower water levels to make the trip feasible. Thanks to years of conservation efforts, the once polluted river is now part of the Blackstone National Corridor and is used by outdoor enthusiasts.
