Sherborn is a small semi-rural community located about 18
miles southwest of Boston. Settled in 1652 and incorporated
in 1674, the town is proud of its rural heritage, which is
still evident in many active farms and orchards, and
preserved in
Town Forest and other extensive public lands. Open space
comprises more than 50% of the town’s area. Because all
properties have individual wells and septic systems, minimum
house lot sizes are one, two or three acres, depending upon
location.
Sherborn is an active, outdoors-oriented town where
residents enjoy miles of trails through woods and meadows
for walking and horseback riding, swimming and boating in
Farm Pond, and participating in any number of team sports. A
high degree of volunteerism due to strong citizen support
for town projects, and commitment to excellence in public
education, characterize the community’s values today, as
they have for more than 300 years. |
