Community Historic Events Great Schools Family-Friendly

In the landscape of historic Massachusetts towns, Easton is one of the oldest. Just 40 minutes south of Boston, Easton is a sleepy suburb with a few pockets of old Massachusetts still standing. Oakes Ames Memorial Hall is the posterchild of Easton. Built in the late 19th century, it was a gift intended to be used as the Town Hall, but today it’s used as a popular venue and meeting space.

Most of Easton is largely residential, with long, tree-lined roads connecting the more populous parts of the area with each other. A concise downtown area offers up chic new shops and restaurants like The Farmer’s Daughter. You’ll find some of Massachusetts most highly-rated schools in Easton, making the area popular with families.

The town comes together every year for a number of events, including the Lighting of the Rockery. The Fall River Expressway is the closest thoroughfare near Easton, making a commute up to Boston relatively simple.
