Framingham

Framingham is a town in Middlesex County, located about twenty miles west of Boston along the banks of the Sudbury River. The area spreads across tree-lined residential streets, shopping corridors, and scattered public parks that mark the landscape.

The land was originally home to the Nipmuc people before European settlers arrived in the mid-1600s. The town received formal incorporation in 1700, becoming a separate administrative entity.

The Danforth Museum and Amazing Things Arts Center maintain collections of regional art while presenting exhibitions throughout the calendar year.

Roads lead toward Boston via Interstate 90 and Route 9, with regular commuter trains connecting to the capital. Local bus lines and walking paths link residential areas with shopping centers and the train station.

The Garden in the Woods lies outside the center and displays plants native to New England along designed trails between beds and small clearings. Guided walks and signs explain connections between soil, climate, and regional vegetation.
