The Lower Main Street Historic District of Lee, Massachusetts encompasses the historic center of the town. It is centered on the junction of Main and Park Streets, where the center of the town was laid out when it was established in 1760. Although a meeting house was erected on this site, that structure was torn down, and the space was converted into a town common, a function it continues to serve today.[2] The district also includes a portion of the business district, running along Main Street.
The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1]
