The Four Corners

The Four Corners is the local name for the intersection of Main Street and Washington Street, the geographic and symbolic center of Hubbardston. This crossroads has been the heart of village life since the 1850s, surrounded by the village's most important commercial and civic buildings. The St. Patrick's Day parade route passes through the Four Corners, and for generations, this intersection has been where neighbors meet, news is exchanged, and the rhythms of small-town life unfold. The Four Corners anchors the village in the same way that a crossroads village center has functioned in Irish towns for centuries — a fitting echo of Hubbardston's heritage.
