Taunton Green Historic District
Taunton Green Historic District, Historic district around Taunton Green in Taunton, United States.
The district centers on a town green with commercial buildings, encompassing Broadway, Main Street, Court Street, and surrounding architectural structures from different periods.
The Taunton Green, established in 1743 as a militia training ground, later became a central gathering space where citizens raised the Taunton Flag in 1774.
