Scituate Mass is a small
to mid-sized seacoast community located equidistant between Boston and
Plymouth. In the 375 years since its incorporation, it has evolved from
a summer colony to a residential community but has managed to retain some
of the flavor of its past. Ocean-related recreational activities make it
a very desirable place in which to live and to raise families. Its Town
Pier accommodates a working fishing fleet and that, coupled with three
business areas, represents commercial interests in the town.
Scituate also has a strong sense
of its history and commemorates its founding in August each year via the
celebration of "Heritage Days". Historic points of interest include: Scituate
Lighthouse, The Old Oaken Bucket Homestead and Well, The Lawson Tower,
Stockbridge Mill and the Cudworth House as well as the Little Red School
House which is the home of the Scituate Historical Society.
Residents pride themselves on the
strength of their school system and on the achievements of the great percentage
of students (85%) who go on to higher education from Scituate Public Schools.
The Town of Scituate is a delightful mix of rural, suburban and seaside
lifestyles within a 25 mile ride to the City of Boston.
Scituate Massachusetts is located
in Eastern Massachusetts, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on the east and
north, Marshfield on the south, Norwell on the southwest, Hingham on the
west, and Cohasset on the northwest. Scituate is 18 miles northeast of
Brockton, 23 miles southeast of Boston |
