Norfolk County, Massachusetts

Just south of Boston, you’ll find a slice of Massachusetts that’s brimming with history. Norfolk County extends from the suburbs to quieter, more rural areas.
It’s a place where you can walk in the footsteps of presidents. Both John Adams and John Quincy Adams called this county home. Quincy, known as the “City of Presidents,” is the county’s largest city and a hub of activity.
The Blue Hills Reservation also offers a quick escape into nature, with hiking trails and scenic views. This helps make you forget how close you are to the big city. Norfolk County’s towns each have their own flavor. Brookline and Dedham add a taste of small-town New England. Places like Medfield and Dover also fit the bill.
