Attleboro’s historic downtown, recent mixed-use redevelopment projects, and active MBTA Commuter Rail station on the Providence line combine to make this city an alluring, lively place.
Attleboro was once known as the “Jewelry Capital of the World" thanks to its many jewelry manufacturers, some which continue to operate there today. Attleboro is home to the Capron Park Zoo and the La Salette Shrine, which features the splendor of thousands of Christmas lights from Thanksgiving to early January every year. Attleboro also boasts the Attleboro Arts Museum, the Balfour Riverwalk Park, the Oak Knoll Wildlife Sanctuary with Lake Talaquega, and the Attleboro Community Theater.
