This cache was placed as part of the Westford Museum & Historical Society's Parkerville Tour. Parkerville (also called Parker Village) was developed in the Colonial Period as a farming neighborhood and settled in part by members of the Parker family who came from Westford’s parent town of Chelmsford. The Parker Village Historic District was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
