The Redstone School is an historic one-room school located in Sudbury, Massachusetts. Built in 1798, it is believed to be the school which Mary Tyler (née Sawyer) took her lamb to in the nursery rhyme "Mary Had a Little Lamb".At the time of Tyler's attendance at the school, it was located in Sterling, Massachusetts. The property was later purchased by Henry Ford and relocated to a churchyard, on the property of Longfellow's Wayside Inn, where it stands today. Ford operated the school for the benefit of children of his employees at the Wayside Inn.After closing in 1927, prior to its move, the school reopened for a further twenty-four years, with an average of around sixteen students of grades one through four. It closed permanently in 1951.The school has windows on the right-hand side and at the rear; its blackboard occupies the interior of the left-hand wall.

Doeskin Hill (also known as Doe Skin or Doescine or Doesiene Hill) is a 492-foot (150 m) hill in Framingham, Massachusetts. The hill is located west of Nobscot Hill near the border with Sudbury, Massachusetts. The hill is mentioned in the Massachusetts colonial records by at least 1658, and the name Doeskin (from the skin of a doe deer) originated as documented in the following testimony below: "Hopestill Brown, Esq., of lawful age testifyeth and saith that for this sixty years he hath known the great hill adjoining to Sudbury south boundary to go by the name of Nobscot or Doeskin hill: that some of the improvement with some of the orchard in the possession of Joseph Berry in Framingham is on the westerly part of said hill: The deponent further saith that he heard his father say that Mr. Pelham and himself went up the hill above mentioned to take a prospect, and that Mr. Pelham lost a Doeskin glove on said hill, and that Mr. Pelham said, this hill shall be called Doeskin hill. Sworn to December 24, 1736." Some early writers applied the "designation Doeskin to the whole range [of hills], and some seeming to apply it to the eastern hill," but it was eventually resolved to only apply to the hill west of Nobscot.In 1946 it was considered as a possible site for the United Nations headquarters, along with 47 other sites in the metropolitan Boston area. By the twentieth century the area around the hill had been developed with houses and a nearby neighborhood was known as the Doeskin Hill Estates.

Weeks Cemetery is a historic cemetery at the corner of Sudbury Street and Concord Road in Marlborough, Massachusetts.

It is organized around 34 family plots, only two of which post-date 1934. More than 100 people are buried there, including in unmarked graves. It is bounded by a typical New England fieldstone wall that probably dates to early in the cemetery's history.The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.

Home Plate Farm was located on 558 Dutton Road in Sudbury, Massachusetts. It was owned by baseball legend Babe Ruth from 1922 to 1926. Ruth had previously rented a modest cottage on Willis Pond while still with the Red Sox. That is where a supposed piano sinking took place. A few versions have Ruth tossing the piano into the pond, but more likely that he and friends pushed it out onto the ice for a daytime party, and then left it there rather than try to push it pack up the hill to the cabin. In the fall of 1922 the Ruths' marriage was faltering. An urban legend concerning the site revolves around a teenaged boy, Lee Gavin, who was struck by a batted ball during an August 31, 2004 baseball game at Fenway Park between the Boston Red Sox and the Los Angeles Angels. Gavin lived at the Home Plate Farm site, and this incident is supposed to have presaged the Red Sox winning the World Series later in 2004, thus ending the Curse of the Bambino. The Red Sox won the game 10-7 while the New York Yankees lost 22–0 to the Cleveland Indians on the same night.
