Uxbridge Town Hall is on the list of buildings in the Na-
tional Historic Registry.[1] Uxbridge is the heart of the
historic Blackstone River Valley, New England’s Historic
National Park area. The Town Hall was built in the
1880s[1] and added to the historic registry 100 years later.
An old burial ground had to be relocated to build the
town hall. The town hall coninues to serve as the admin-
istrative Headquarters for the government of Uxbridge,
Massachusetts. In the 1930s its auditorium showed
movies, and live bands played here for weekend enter-
tainment.[1] Until recent times it also served as the police
headquarters. The historic town of Uxbridge was first
settled in 1662,[1] and claims America’s first woman vot-
er, Lydia Taft, and the earliest beginnings of the Ameri-
can Industrial Revolution.
