Easton, Historical town in Bristol County, Massachusetts.
Located 30 miles south of Boston, Easton spans across 29.2 square miles of land with residential neighborhoods, parks, and educational institutions.
The establishment of Ames Shovel Works in 1803 transformed the town into an industrial center, producing tools that contributed to railroad construction across America.
The town features several buildings designed by architect H.H. Richardson, including the Ames Free Library and Oakes Ames Memorial Hall.
Residents access major routes through highways 106, 123, and 138, while Route 24 and Interstate 495 provide connections to neighboring metropolitan areas.
The Ames family shaped the industrial and architectural landscape of Easton through their shovel manufacturing business and philanthropic contributions to public buildings.
