The
Town of Lynnfield Massachusetts is a traditional New England residential
community which has an open town meeting form of government, headed by
a three-member Board of Selectmen. Its residents enjoy the small town feeling
while within a short commute of Boston's cultural and employment opportunities.
Lynnfield's school system is very
highly regarded, residents note proudly, sending over eighty percent of
its graduates to college. Of particular pride to the community is the diversity
of religious denominations and ethnic backgrounds within the town. The
community also offers a wide range of organizations for all ages, including
Rotary, the Lion's Club, Art Guild, Townscape and the Historical Society.
The center of the town is graced by The Common, a small green bordered
by historic structures including the Lynnfield Meeting House built in 1714
and the Lynnfield Public Library, which was built just before the Civil
War.
The town provides a wide spectrum
of recreational facilities with ball fields, tennis and golf courses and
parks. Residents claim that the success of the town is due to the involvement
of so many members of the community on town boards, the excellence of town
employees and the community's commitment to including people young and
older in developing and maintaining a high quality of life for all.
Lynnfield Mass is located in Eastern
Massachusetts, bordered by North Reading on the north; Reading on the west;
Middleton, Peabody, and Lynn on the east; and Saugus and Wakefield on the
south. Lynnfield is 15 miles north of Boston. |
