Athol MA Community Profile & History
Athol, Massachusetts is a historic town located in the North Quabbin region of West Central Massachusetts. The town lies between the picturesque Tully Mountains to the North and the Quabbin Reservoir to the South. Athol offers a unique blend of urban and rural characteristics including a traditional downtown shopping district and an abundance of recreational activities such as camping, hunting and fishing.
Settled on the banks of the Millers River in the 1732, Athol has been a strong metalwork manufacturing hub since the turn of the century. Hence the town's nickname, "Tool Town, U.S.A.", is well earned. Athol is also home to the annual River Rat Race spectacular. What began as a local canoeing event 30 years ago has evolved into a major tourist and sporting attraction. In early April of each year, the River Rat Race draws contestants from all over the northeastern United States to compete seriously and for fun.
A close-knit community with a strong commitment to its history and a revitalized downtown, Athol offers multiple opportunities for sightseeing and cultural events. In the summer and early fall, “Tool Town Live!” weekend concerts are held in the Uptown Common and at Fish Park in the western part of town. Begun in 2004, this popular series features talented groups from around New England who represent a variety of musical genres. The Athol Historical Society, a group of private citizens, occupies the old town hall in the uptown area. The building houses a museum exhibiting articles from Athol’s storied past. The society sponsors talks about local history, provides guided tours of historic sites, and hosts special events including art exhibits, theatrical performances and guest speakers among other events.
