Description of Duxbury, Massachusetts
Duxbury is a coastal community 33 miles south of Boston in Plymouth County.
The Town was a center of shipbuilding until the mid-nineteenth century when ships became too large for the shallow bay. Many historic and beautiful homes from Pilgrim times and the shipbuilding period still exist. Formerly a rural and summer community with an economic base of fishing and agriculture, Duxbury has become a residential suburb of Boston since Route 3 made daily commuting possible.
Eastern Massachusetts, bordered by Pembroke on the west, Marshfield on the north, Kingston on the south, and the Atlantic Ocean on the east and southeast. Duxbury is 33 miles south of Boston and 246 miles from New York City.
