Canton

Canton is best known within Massachusetts for the Canton Viaduct, a granite railroad bridge completed in 1835 for the Boston and Providence Railroad. The town lies in Norfolk County along the Neponset River, while the Blue Hills Reservation reaches across its northern edge. Built from massive dry-laid granite blocks, the viaduct remains in active rail service and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Canton’s industrial past included water-powered mills; today, its center combines civic buildings, local businesses and rail links to Boston.
