Join us for an entire week of celebrations in honor of Hitchcock Free Academy, founded in 1855 by Samuel Austin Hitchcock.  For 100 years, HFA served the local communities of Brimfield, Holland, Sturbridge and Wales as the area high school.  When Tantasqua Regional School District was formed in 1955, HFA transformed into a non-profit community center, providing educational, cultural, and recreational programs to area residents.
