WE SERVE YOU AT YOUR SHERBORN PROPERTY
Sherborn started as a small town in the 1700s and was a self-sufficient farming community famous for its small cider mills. For the next three centuries, the quaint village continued to thrive. With the invention of the railroad in the mid-1800s, Sherborn cider mills pressed over 1.25 million gallons of cider every season that shipped worldwide.
As the cider industry blossomed, so did many others: Cranberries, farming, and dairying became popular, and small cottages set up shop selling guns, shoes, baskets, whips, pitchforks, and tools for the community.
But perhaps one of Sherborn’s most recognizable characteristics is that the town is full of older, colonial-type homes. The city was poor until the early 20th century, so very few people updated their homes by rebuilding. Many houses from the 18th and 19th centuries remain, and some even date as far back as the 17th century.
Sherborn is like many other historical towns around Boston because of its authentic historic charm. But with old homes like these, there are plenty of nooks and crannies that allow for unwanted pest infestations.
