The Groton Hill Music Center was founded in 1985 and has been a leader in music education and performance for more than 35 years. It was originally known as the Indian Hill Music Center and was located on King Street in Littleton. In 2014 plans were hatched to build a new world-class music education and performance center on a stunning 110-acre parcel of agricultural land on Old Ayer Road in Groton. Construction began in 2017 and the new Groton Hill Music Center opened in September of 2022.
