Easton: Shovel Works and the Stonehill Campus
The Ames Shovel Works, which operated in North Easton from the early 1800s until 1952, produced shovels used in railroad construction, gold mining, and military campaigns. The Ames family fortune funded a series of public buildings designed by architect H.H. Richardson, including the Oliver Ames Free Library, the Oakes Ames Memorial Hall, and a railroad station. These buildings, along with the Frederick Law Olmsted-designed landscape around them, form a National Historic Landmark district.
Stonehill College, a Catholic liberal arts institution, occupies a campus on the grounds of a former estate on the Easton-Brockton border. The college is one of the town's largest employers. Easton sits in Bristol County along Route 138, roughly 25 miles south of Boston. The commuter rail does not serve the town directly, making it more car-dependent than some of the suburbs along the rail lines.
Borderland State Park, on the Easton-Sharon border, preserves the former Ames estate on over 1,800 acres of ponds, meadows, and woodlands. The stone mansion at the center of the park is open for tours. Easton operates under an open town meeting form of government and maintains its own school system.
