About the Wakefield Heritage Commission

Established in 1993, the Wakefield Heritage Commission aims to preserve and promote the rich history of our community. We focus on restoring significant areas that highlight Wakefield's contributions to transportation, manufacturing, and farming.


With the generous support of volunteers, financial donors, and grants, the first building constructed in the village of Sanbornville, the Garvin Building, was restored. Upon completion, the Wakefield Heritage Commission sold the Garvin Building. It remains a focal point and tribute to the history of the community.


In recent years, the Commission, thanks to a small army of talented and generous volunteers, has restored Union Station and the Freight House in Union, the Lovell-Union Grange, Spinney Meeting House, and the East Wakefield School. Among other successes, the Newichawannock Bridge and Canal, built in 1868, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. This area now qualifies to be designated as a national historic district.
