Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site Water restoration should be left to the professionals. SERVPRO has the experience and equipment best to fit your water damage needs.

SERVPRO of Saugus, West Lynn Assists Local Homeowners with Water Intrusion, Leaks, and Restoration.

Saugus' town is a part of the Greater Boston Area with a long manufacturing history and a current population of 26,628 people. The name Saugus is derived from the Algonquin people who originally settled in West Lynn, Reading, and Wakefield. As an early English settlement, the town made waves as one of the first Ironworks in the US, which began with the Saugus Iron Works in 1646. The national historic site used several water wheels to power the production and purification of Iron ore, and today has been faithfully reconstructed. At the same time, the surrounding grounds became a national park in 1968. The industrial revolution saw parts of Saugus become hotbeds for the mass production of shoes, tobacco, and many other enterprises. Despite being a relatively small township, Saugus played an important role both militarily and economically during the American Revolutionary War- the civil war monument in the town center pays tribute to those who dedicated their lives. Economically, the southern tobacco states were replaced temporarily by Saugus' Waitt and Bond, who set up in East Saugus.

Visits to Saugus promise a combination of history and wildlife. The reconstructed Saugus Iron Works on Central Street is a specific example. The heritage center runs many events throughout the year showing history buffs how the Iron Works purified iron ore, shaped materials, and drew power from the nearby water. The tours run on weekdays and through the week, led mainly by local park rangers and curators from the Ironworks museum. The Breakheart Reservation stretches 652 across both Saugus and Wakefield. Inside are two freshwater lakes as well as forestry and wildlife conservation. The opening hours are from sunrise to sunset, while there are several excellent hiking trails and supervised swimming sessions in some of the State Parks freshwater lakes. This site's archaeological significance can be enjoyed by taking some educational programs and tours through the various campsites. At the same time, cross-country skiing is encouraged during the winter months. Fishing, biking, and horseback riding are also regular events taking place at the Breakheart Reservation.

  • The Square One Mall just off Route 1 has permanent stores, including Macy's, TJ Maxx, and Best Buy. The multi-storied shopping center features 100 shopping destinations with dining experiences serving the communities surrounding Saugus. The shopping district offers a wide selection of sports, health & beauty, fashion, and family-focused shops.
  • For entertainment, the Wicked Escapes adventure room on the broadway attracts visitors from nearby Boston and West Lynn. The setup is relatively simple, with guests given a set of orange overalls and some clues to help them escape a cell block. Group parties are welcomed, while these events can also make significant team-building training events for businesses.
  • The Saugus Plaza offers a variety of nightlife and entertainment. On Main Street, Buffalo Wild Wings is a sports, wings, and cocktails bar for late-night revelers in the Saugus area. Opening hours run from 11 am to 11 pm every day, with their kitchen closing slightly early at 10 pm.

Exploring Saugus' unique history at the Boardman House. 

The Boardman House is a historic site on Howard Street that has remained a part of Saugus since the seventeenth century. The building itself has somehow managed to remain mostly intact over the past 300 years and allows guests to experience the early settlers' lives in Massachusetts. The Boardman House was named after William Boardman, who worked as a joiner in 1692 when the house was built. The quality of building materials and construction within the home saw it fit to be made a Historic Landmark and earn a place on the register of historic places. 

  • Historic New England owns the land, a trustee-led preservation society with buildings of historical significance. Admissions to the Boardman House are $5 and include a tour of the various seventeenth-century building construction methods. Children and Seniors receive concessions. 
  • The Historic New England society was originally founded in 1910 by William Sumner Appleton, who, incidentally, also purchased the Boardman House around the same time. The organization frequently raises money for the upkeep of historical sites, increases its income by welcoming over 200,000 visitors each year, and operates through five New England states. 
  • The core mission statements behind this organization focus on sustainability, engagement, and preservation. Historic sites are brought to life by local historians, tours, and events throughout the year, including Saugus, taking part in the Fall Festival.
