Sharon, MA

Sharon is a Norfolk County town between Boston and Providence, known for conservation land, Lake Massapoag, and a strong residential community. During the American Revolution, local foundries made cannonballs and cannons for the Continental Army, giving the town deeper history than its residential suburban appearance suggests. Sharon has long been religiously diverse, with multiple synagogues and churches, and it was once home to the Kendall Whaling Museum. Trails, schools, commuter rail access, and protected open space are central to the town's appeal.
