We have a really great Senior Center that has recently added van transportation. They have an array of monthly regular programs and special programs for the public. We have a wonderful family owned Pharmacy at Pepperell Family Pharmacy. The owner Traci really connects with each client. We have a small downtown area. It has a new walking path on the town field. We are also on the Nashua River for the Rail Trail.
