Introduction
About Marshfield, Massachusetts

Marshfield, Massachusetts is a remarkable coastal community covering over 28 square miles with a natural splendor of beaches, preserved open space and the scenic South River.  It has retained its rural charm with many of its historic homes dotting the landscape today.  From the beaches to Marshfield Hills, the town provides a wide variety of residential neighborhoods.  The town has invested in the revitalization of the downtown area as well as in the schools and recreational facilities providing residents with the conveniences of today’s lifestyles as well as meeting the ever changing population. 

Though a suburban community,  Marshfield offers easy access to major routes including 3, 3A, 139 as well as the Marshfield Airport, bus service to Boston, and the commuter rail station in neighboring Scituate, slated to begin service in mid 2007.
