August

Acton Leathertown Festival celebrates the community and connects families and people over unique take-out eating options by the downtown restaurants for an online presentation of recorded live popular music.

Tanning has been an important industry in Acton since 1842. This year, the first tannery was established by Abraham Nelles. The ACTON area was attractive to the leather industry because of the large number of hemlock and spruce trees.
