Grafton is a semi-rural town southeast of Worcester known for its classic town common, lined with historic buildings and a bandstand built for a 1935 Hollywood film. It grew as a string of mill villages along the Quinsigamond and Blackstone rivers. Today it is also home to Tufts University's Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine and a commuter rail stop on the Framingham/Worcester Line.
The land was the Nipmuc village of Hassanamisco, where missionary John Eliot set up a church and school in 1671. The town was established in 1735 and named for Charles Fitzroy, Duke of Grafton, and the common was laid out in 1738. In the 1800s the mill villages of New England Village, Farnumsville, Fisherville and Centerville grew up around water power, and Washington Mills still makes abrasives in North Grafton. Grafton mixes old New England village centers with newer subdivisions and open space. Daily life runs between the common, the Route 140 and Route 122 corridors, and the town's trails, beach and ball fields.
The historic heart of town around the 1738 common, with the library, the Grafton Inn, shops and the 1935 bandstand. Early American, Greek Revival and Victorian homes still stand along North Street, South Street and Worcester Street. ( source )
