Article and photo by Eric H.Congratulations to Easton, MA, by finishing 37th in CNN/Money.com's Best Places to Live 2009. Although we understand that it's a difficult task to choose best places to live (there's lots of subjectivity involved) Easton's high ranking does not surprise us. The town prides itself on historical preservation, conservation of beautiful open land, an excellent school system and deep community involvement. The H.H. Richardson-designed buildings (Ames Free Public Library, Oakes Memorial Hall) in North Easton, especially add a flavor to the quaint New England downtown. Add the fabulous Children's Museum in Easton, the scenic Borderland State Park, the peaceful Sheep Pasture to stroll, and easy access to Boston (35 miles away), and you indeed have a special town.
Not too long ago, we featured a photo essay on North Easton, perhaps the most strikingly beautiful section of Easton. We think the article and photos will give you a taste of this very nice community.
