Introduction
About Cohasset, Massachusetts

A coastal town on the South Shore of Massachusetts, Cohasset was settled in 1647 as a part of Hingham.  It remains a typical New England town, with central town common and duck pond surrounded by fine antique homes and churches.  The coastline offers sandy beaches, rocky precipices and a picturesque harbor for pleasure and lobster boats bobbing in the breeze.

The commuter rail to Boston is anticipated to begin in 2007 and will offer an alternative for the twenty miles drive to Boston.
