The Russell Center Historic District is a historic district encompassing the historic village center of Russell, Massachusetts. It is centered at the junction of Main Street and Lincoln Avenue, and is bordered by the Westfield River to the east, and the rising foothills of The Berkshires to the west. Most of the village's buildings were built in the second half of the 19th century, and exhibit architectural styles characteristic of the period. The oldest building, the Horace Parks House, dates to 1830. The district includes three Tudor Revival buildings: the town hall (1916, pictured), elementary school (1926), and Catholic church (1927).[2]

The Center Historic District was named as one of the 1,000 places to visit in Massachusetts by the Great Places in Massachusetts Commission.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[1]
