A ROU N D TH E SOUTH COA ST
Dartmouth
The ocean has defined this southeastern Massachusetts
town throughout its history. In the eighteenth century,
shipbuilding was the area’s main industry then whaling and
salt mining brought jobs and wealth to Dartmouth. Federalstyle Colonials, Shingle-style classics, and elaborate
Victorians were erected along main streets. Today,
Dartmouth’s main attraction is tourism, but many of the
historic homes have been restored, sitting proudly in the
village of Padanaram, which is on the National Register of
Historic Places.
There are a number of agricultural farms in Dartmouth.
Silverbrook Farm is a sustainable farm in town where locals will
find vegetables, fruits, cut flowers, herbs, mushrooms, free-range
eggs, and jams. They also have a roadside farmstand and local
CSA program. Copicut Farms is a pasture-based livestock farm
that specializes in humanely raised poultry and pork.
