Finally it looks like my husband and I will be moving to Stow...[long process of trying to sell our house and buy into the Stow/Bolton area on a budget!] Just some questions...
1. We noticed the taxes seem really high and no trash pick-up, where is the tax money going to? -great schools, police, fire, roads?
2. How good are the schools? I heard great but then read mixed reviews online, so if someone went to the schools in Stow/Nashoba Regional or has a child there now it would be better information. We are starting a family, so we have a few years but are wondering.
Anything else that might be good to know about Stow, please let me know! Thanks!

I live in a neighboring town and 75% of our property tax revenue goes to the school system. Even towns in this area with not-so-good schools spend around 50% of their revenue on the school system. If you like pasture golfing, try Stowaway golf course. It's really cheap. Also jogging and cycling at Assabet Wildlife Refuge on the Hudson/Stow line.

Small Farm on Gleasondale Road, fresh veggies and flowers all summer. They give you a container and you can put as many flowers into it as you can fit. It was something like $5 to do this last time I was there.
Nashoba Valley Winery (less for the kids) has wine tasting. Good restaurant if you need someplace to take guests. And more festivals for everyone. Nancy's Air Field Cafe for brunch and the kids can watch the small aircraft take off and land.
Hannefords in Hudson is a good place to grocery shop, good quality and reasonable.
Maynard Center is a nice laid back place to hang out.
Collings Foundation is a museum dedicated to antique cars and aircraft.
This place is my favorite. My kids love the hayride and their apple cider donuts are the BEST.
Parsec, OP and other fans of country fun:
More off the path places:
Hebert's is an old fashioned ice parlor.
With the most fun selection of Halloween candy. Bolton
Berlin Farms, more ice cream and pony rides, amusing rescue animals. They have a riding school, have educational classes in canning and other farm skills. https://www.facebook.com/BerlinFarms
For the serious stuff, there is a very good Lowe's a few miles from Stow for any new home owner needs that may come up.
