The Old Billerica Road Historic District encompasses a rural residential stretch of Old Billerica Road in Bedford, Massachusetts. It is bounded on the north by Eli-Wil Farm Road, and on the south by Mitchell Grant Lane, and includes houses numbered 229-301 Old Billerica Road. The area represents a cross-section of residential housing in Bedford, encompassing its agrarian origins and its development through the 19th century to a suburban community in the 20th. The district also has a well-preserved series of fieldstone walls, lining both the roads and some of the property boundaries.[2]

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]
