Living in Hamilton, Massachusetts
Hamilton’s character comes from its land. Appleton Farms, which spans Hamilton and Ipswich and is cared for by The Trustees, is one of the oldest continuously operating farms in the country. Myopia Hunt Club, founded in 1882, hosted the U.S. Open four times between 1898 and 1908, and the town’s equestrian heritage still shows in its open fields and horse farms. Bradley Palmer State Park follows the Ipswich River, and the Patton Homestead, once home to General George S. Patton Jr.’s family, was gifted to the town in 2012 and is open to the public. Historic homes line Bay Road through the town’s historic district.
Hamilton shares the Hamilton-Wenham Regional School District, public library, and recreation department with neighboring Wenham.
