A Historic Town for Modern Times
Throughout the year, musical events are hosted by the Old Stoughton Musical Society. Founded in 1786, the Society is the oldest continuously operating choral society in America. Other historical points of interest include the Stoughton Historical Society, Immaculate Conception Church, and the grand Lucius Clapp Memorial building.
Another landmark of interest is “Stoughton Station.” Built in 1888, Stoughton Station is the only rail station in Massachusetts to house a clock tower. In 1974, Stoughton Station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Over one million dollars was raised to restore the station to its original luster in time for the 100th anniversary. However, in 2009, the MBTA permanently closed the station. In 2015, the town purchased Stoughton Station from the state for renovation and multi-purpose use.
The stone used to build Stoughton Station was extracted from the old Gilbert Quarry that is now part of Stoughton’s extensive conservation area and public open spaces: Bird Street Conservation Area boasts 600 acres of land that is brimming with wildlife, lovely ponds, and re-purposed farmland. These protected lands are ideal for birdwatching, mountain biking, walking, and hiking.
