The Lunenburg Historic District is a historic district encompassing the historic center of Lunenburg, Massachusetts. The district is centered on a stretch of Main Street which connects two triangular intersections. It includes many of the town's oldest buildings, including the c. 1724 Cushing House, and the c. 1730 Stillman Stone House. Three of the town's most significant institutional buildings were built before 1850: the town hall (a former Unitarian church), the Congregational church, and the Methodist church.[2] The district is roughly bounded by Leominster Rd., Highland St., Oak Ave., Massachusetts Ave., Main St. and Lancaster Avenue.

The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
