The town is well supplied with roads, amounting to between fifty and sixty miles in length, of which the following are the principal ones:

The road leading from Brattleborough to Boston, through the south part of the town, is about four miles in length, and was originally a turnpike. In the year 1829, it was abandoned as such, and made free for public travel. It was laid out as a county road by the Commissioners in the year 1833, and re-built by the town, at an expense of between seven and eight thousand dollars.

The county road leading from Westminster to Royalston passes through the center of the Town; length, seven miles.

The roads from the, center of the town, leading to Ashburnham, Winchendon, Jonesville, Templeton, and Hubbardston, are of about an equal length; viz: from four to five miles.
