Scituate is a small seaside village located between Boston and Plymouth. Settled in the 1630s, the town of Scituate boasts several miles of beautiful coastline and a protected harbor. The interesting name of the town is derived from an Indian word meaning "cold brook," which undoubtedly refers to the small stream that flows into the harbor. Scituate retains its Old World charm in its' authentically preserved historic sites, coupled with an active waterfront district, challenging golf courses and some of the best restaurants on the south shore. The town also offers an abundance of eclectic shops in its' three business areas and the Town Pier accommodates a working fishing fleet. Historic points of interest include Scituate Lighthouse, The Old Oaken Bucket Homestead and Well, The Lawson Tower, Stockbridge Mill and the Cudworth House as well as the Little Red School House which is the home of the Scituate Historical Society. The village of Scituate commemorates its founding each year in August with its' "Heritage Days" festival. It is an easy day trip to both the city of Boston and historic Plymouth and Plimouth Plantation.
