Purchased by Peter Bulkeley, of Concord, in the late 1730's. Remained in family for approximately 180 years.            

Captain John Fox kept the house as a tavern. He went as a soldier on the expedition to the Kennebec River, returned home sick and died six weeks later. After his death his wife Sara Fox continued to keep the tavern and also took care of the meeting house next door. Captain Whiting then took the tavern. He was arrested bearing correspondence from the British commander in Canada to General Gage in Boston. Later, the Littleton Tavern was kept by Henry Prentice. On August 9, 1776, Captain Lemuel Trescott's company, part of Colonel Jonathon Brewer's regiment, were on the march from Boston to Ticonderoga; when they reached Littleton the officers dined and lodged at Mr. Prentice's tavern.

Deacon Hoar, Capt. Josiah Hartwell, and Daniel Rogers Jr., represented Littleton at the Middlesex Convention held in Concord, August 31, 1774.

Beaver Brook is a small stream that begins near the Boxborough/Littleton border. It meanders north through the western part of Littleton, emptying into Mill Pond and ultimately into Forge Pond on the Littleton/Westford line. For much of its length, there are extensive wetlands associated with Beaver Brook.

Loss of active farming and development of agricultural property was the single most important landscape issue in the minds of Littleton residents. Many farms that were active until a few years ago are no longer farmed and there are For Sale signs and surveyors marks on many agricultural properties. The greatest concentration of active farms is along Great Road (Route 2A/119). 

Farms west of Route 495 include:
• Proctor Hill Horse Farm
• Springdell Farm, since 1931, owned by Theodorous family, with market gardening of strawberries and vegetables and a farmstand where they sell only their own products
• Spring Brook Farm, established 1713, owned by Matheson family, has greenhouses
• Gary Wilkins Farm, sells flowers and vegetables
• Dell Dale Farm, former dairy farm now a horse farm with building development.

Farms east of Route 495 include:
• Nashobaside Farm, which is no longer active
• Dan Pickard Farm, supplies stonewalls, wood products, hay
• Jim Pickard Farm, a dairy farm
• Powers Horse Farm.     

The Kaleva Camp is a Finnish cottage community on Fort Pond. The land is owned by the Knights and Ladies of Kaleva, a Finnish civic organization from Maynard that was founded in 1915 and is part of a larger national network of Finnish groups.

Littleton Center, also referred to as the Foster Street area, was the western end of Littleton’s early settlement. The historic village area extends along Foster Street from King Street to Tahattawan Road.

The Littleton Common area is roughly centered on the intersection of King Street and Great Road and also extends west along King Street. The triangular common, which is bisected by Great Road, is the focal point of this village center, which is Littleton’s primary downtown commercial area.

The depot area, a small commercial center, is located at the intersection of King Street, Harvard Road and Taylor Road. This area emerged as a new center of activity after 1845 when the Fitchburg Railroad established a stop here, and flourished in the late 19th and early 20th century. The current depot at 2 Taylor Street (1879) is privately owned and is used as a stove store.      

The Long Store is reportedly the oldest commercial building in Littleton, dating to the late 18th century, and is marked by a Historical Commission marker.           

The Yapp Farm at includes a handsome well-sited Federal period house on the north side of the road. There is an adjacent barn and several smaller sheds. Stonewalls line both sides of the road. The farm is no longer intensively farmed but the rolling topography and expansive hay fields contribute to the overall character of this scenic rural area.
