| Scituate 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. (Narrative supplied by community)
