Living in Whitman, MA

Whitman has a rich history rooted in agriculture and industry, like many of the towns and cities in the state. It’s industry began along the Schumatuscacant river, creating the first canal used for commerce. The town used trees from the forested areas to provide timber among the seaport towns, including the construction of the frigate U.S.S. Constitution. This grew the town into a manufacturing center, where they developed shoe racks, cannonballs, nails and tacks, and wooden boxes. Many of these businesses scaled up significantly and became assembly-line factories. The town continues to grow the local economy and has a strong sense of commerce.

In 1817, the Toll House Restaurant was built, and eventually, in 1930, Mr. and Mrs. Wakefield would purchase the building. They revamped the structure and created the restaurant, which would become the Toll House cookie’s birthplace, a national treasure. It was created by accident by Mrs. Wakefield, and soon after, this cookie launched the town and the Toll House Restaurant into fame.
