Medway

Medway is a suburban town in Norfolk County, located about 25 miles southwest of Boston along the Charles River. The town has retained much of its historic character, including a walkable village center with 18th and 19th-century architecture, while growing into a residential community that appeals to families. Medway was once known for its straw hat manufacturing industry in the 1800s and still celebrates this heritage with annual community events.
