Throughout most of human history structures have been built to live in, worship, play and work. In most cases these buildings had finite life spans depending on building material and would be left to decay or torn down and replaced with newer structures. Because of the relatively recent habitation of Fitchburg starting in the late 1830s and its continued rural character in the southern half of the city, several 19^th and early 20^th century buildings still exist. Five of these buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places and several others including two 19^th century cemeteries, one still in operation, are on the Fitchburg Landmarks Preservation list. Other sites and buildings of local historic value are also listed below.

It should be noted that some of these buildings are currently being used as private residences so please respect the owners and ask permission if you would like to take photographs or walk around the premises.
