Lincoln MA Community Profile & History
Lincoln, Massachusetts is a small suburb west of Boston with a strong sense of place. Just minutes from New England's largest city, the town retains predominantly rural in nature, with a bounty of gorgeous natural scenery, excellent opportunities for recreation and leisure and a host of historic sites among its notable features. Popular attractions include the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Garden, which features a wide variety of modern and contemporary works of art and a nationally renowned outdoor park with approximately 75 sculptures and installations across 35 acres; Codman Farm, a nonprofit agricultural cooperative established on the grounds of a historic 19th century estate; Drumlin Farm, a working educational farm and wildlife sanctuary; and the Gropius House, the strikingly designed family residence of noted architect Walter Gropius.
Settled in 1650, Lincoln began life as a rural farming community made up of pieces of land nipped from adjacent towns; hence its nickname was once "Niptown". The town also became a popular site for country estates, of which some have become schools, museums, town buildings or parks.
Retention of open space and protection of its rural character against an encroaching age of urban development are extremely important to the community. To that end, Lincoln was one of the first towns to create a Conservation Commission that has, with the Lincoln Land Conservation Trust, acquired key parcels of land throughout the town. Significant areas of the town are now preserved against development, providing protection for wildlife and water supply along with conservation trails for use by the public.
