Watertown Square—quaint New England town center, hub of culture and commerce, bastion of history—it is all this and more. Founded in 1630, Watertown, Massachusetts, has gone through countless transformations while maintaining its roots and small-town feeling.

Did you know that Watertown Square was once home to a hotel that was a Revolutionary War meeting place, a gristmill, livery stables, and even a chocolate factory?
