History

Established in 2004.

The Baldwin House was built in 1661 by Henry Baldwin, one of Woburn’s first settlers. In 1803 his grandson, noted engineer Col. Loammi Baldwin, greatly enlarged the house to its current form. (This younger Baldwin, known as the Father of American Civil Engineering, created the Middlesex Canal, and lent his name to the Baldwin apple, discovered nearby.) At that time its grounds were 212 acres. On the south, between the house and the canal, was formerly a beautiful garden, with walks and trees, superior to anything in the region. All traces have long since disappeared under suburban sprawl. The Baldwin house was relocated to Alfred street in 1971 after being saved from the wrecking ball by the historical commission.
