Settled by the Pilgrims and their descendants in 1659, Freetown is one of the oldest communities in the United States.
It is a pastoral community with a dash of maritime history, thanks to its location on the Taunton and Assonet Rivers. Beautiful Long Pond provides boating, fishing, and swimming – and it’s more of a lake than a pond, measuring roughly one-mile wide by four-miles long, with 11 miles of shoreline, and containing three islands within its boundaries! Freetown hosts a ball field-sized replica of Fenway Park where little leaguers develop their big-league swings.
