In addition to the Cushing Academy's academic and residential buildings and beautiful grounds, the center of Ashburnham is packed with historic Victorian homes, reminders of its days as a prosperous furniture manufacturing center; a newly-renovated Town Hall; historic sites on Meetinghouse Hill; an abundance of lakes; and the Frederick Piano Collection – created to give musicians and music lovers a chance to hear works by major piano composers, played on pianos such as those the composers knew and for which their music was conceived. The period of pianos in the Collection extends from about 1790 to 1907, representing music from Haydn and Beethoven through the French Impressionists.
