Made famous by
the Ames Shovel Company which provided shovels for the Union Pacific
Railroad that opened the west
in 1862, North Easton Village (part of Easton), MA, is also famous for
its grand H.H. Richardson architecture. With several buildings
showcasing that patented Richardson 19th-century Romanesque-style
design, North Easton has a look of its own -- quite distant from many
of the cookie-cutter, strip mall, bland 1960s-style box buildings that
can be seen in many Boston suburbs. Despite its proximity to busy
Brockton and Taunton, North Easton remains a sleepy town with a
laid-back downtown and wide open spaces (like the beautiful Borderland
State Park and Sheep Pasture) combined with pleasant suburban and
historical homes . It's really a one-of-a-kind community and a
makes for a delightful walk. We hope you enjoy this video
tour of North Easton Village!
