The Montague Center Historic District encompasses the well-preserved 19th century village center of Montague, Massachusetts. Montague Center, one of the town's five villages, is the civic heart of the town, and was also an active industrial area in the 19th century. It first took shape in the 19th century as the site of an early gristmill and the intersection of two east-west and north-south roads. Main Street is the north-south road, and is where the most significant buildings in the village lie, along with North and Center Streets, which line the town common. A school and two churches from the 1830s flank the common, as does the 1858 town hall. The oldest building in the district is a tavern that dates to about 1734. The district also includes the Alvah Stone Mill, now known as the Bookmill, separately listed on the National Register.[2]
The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.[1]
