<h1 style="text-align: center;">Georgetown, <em>Boston</em></h1>
<p>Initially formed as a farming community in 1639, Georgetown is one of Massachusetts best kept secrets. Still a mostly rural town, Georgetown wasn&rsquo;t incorporated until 1838 due to it&rsquo;s small size. Today, it maintains traditional roots with a quaint downtown consisting of antique shops, friendly neighborhood restaurants and markets, and even an organ manufacturing company. The town mostly acts as a residential, quiet place to live, with it&rsquo;s close proximity to highways.&nbsp;</p>
<p>As if out of a Norman Rockwell painting, Georgetown still adheres to family friendly traditions. From fireworks and entertainment for the annual Georgetown Days to historic walking tours and scavenger hunts, Georgetown maintains a high quality of living for it&rsquo;s residents. The local newspaper reports on school sports, and the active arts and culture scene in Georgetown offers workshops, classes and fundraisers to benefit the local community. The town also has a beautiful golf course and country club.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Nearby colleges include Northern Essex Community College, Gordon College and Merrimack College. A quick drive from Georgetown-Rowley State Forest and Willowdale State Forest, Georgetown also provides access to Salem, Ipswich, and Gloucester. Just 30 miles north of Boston; 30 miles south of Portsmouth, NH; and 80 miles south of Portland, ME.&nbsp;</p>
