About the town of…
Scituate as 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 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. The town of Scituate is a delightful mix of rural, suburban, and seaside lifestyles within a 25 mile ride to the city of Boston.
