Wheeler Farm, located in North Acton, Massachusetts, is a historic site featuring the remnants of an 18th-century farmstead and mill complex established by Thomas Wheeler Jr. in 1732. The property includes the foundations of a gristmill and sawmill that utilized water power from Nashoba Brook. These mills were integral to the local economy, processing grain and lumber for the community. The site is part of Acton's "Trail Through Time," a heritage trail that highlights both Native American and colonial historical sites. Visitors can explore the Wheeler Farm foundations and nearby Robbins Mill ruins, gaining insights into early industrial activities in the region. The area is accessible via trails that connect to the Nashoba Brook Conservation Land, offering opportunities for hiking and historical exploration and is the main trailhead for the "Trail Through Time."
