The Town of Cohasset
Massachusetts covers a nine square mile area in a setting of colonial homes
and ocean vistas of spectacular beauty. The town is about 25 miles from
Boston and is predominantly residential, many of its residents making the
daily commute to work by bus, car or commuter boat from adjoining Hingham.
Route 3-A bisects the town and provides a location for a multitude of large
and small businesses.
At present, there are four active
shopping malls within the town. Cohasset's central village lies around
a spacious common with a small pond, and includes specialty shops, the
colonial First Parish Meeting House and St. Stephen's Church with its 56
bell carillon that has offered Sunday concerts since 1824.
The town has active Community and
Arts Centers, three historical museums and the renowned South Shore Music
Circus, as well as the Swim Club, two beaches and the recreational facilities
of Whitney Woods Reservation and the Wompatuck State Park. Along the shores
of Cohasset Harbor are facilities for dining, sailing and a replica of
the famous Minot's light.
Cohasset Massachusetts is located
in Eastern Massachusetts, bordered by Hingham on the west, Hull on the
northwest, the Atlantic Ocean on the north, and Scituate on the south and
east. Cohasset is about 20 miles southeast of Boston, 23 miles northeast
of Brockton. |
