Braintree: South Shore Junction
Braintree sits at the split where I-93 meets Route 3, making it one of the key highway junctions on the South Shore. The South Shore Plaza, one of the largest malls in the region, occupies a site along Route 128 in the northwestern part of town. The town's commuter rail station and Red Line terminus at Braintree serve commuters heading to Boston from across the South Shore. General Sylvanus Thayer, the superintendent who shaped West Point into a modern military academy, was born in Braintree in 1785.
The Sacco and Vanzetti case, one of the most controversial criminal trials of the 1920s, originated with a payroll robbery and double murder at a shoe factory in Braintree in 1920. The two Italian anarchists were convicted and executed despite ongoing claims of innocence and widespread protest. The original Slater and Morrill Shoe Company factory where the crime occurred has since been demolished.
Braintree's neighborhoods range from the older village center around Town Hall to the suburban developments that spread during the postwar housing boom. Pond Meadow Park, shared with Weymouth, offers hiking trails and open space along the Monatiquot River. The town operates under a representative town meeting form of government and maintains its own school system.
The Braintree Highlands neighborhood, at higher elevation near the Holbrook border, has a quieter residential character than the areas closer to the highway junction. The town's school system and its multiple transit options, including the Red Line and the commuter rail, make it a destination for families who want South Shore living with direct subway access to Boston. Sunset Lake and the surrounding conservation land provide modest green space in an otherwise built-up landscape.
