Holliston, A Good Town

Once called the land of the commonplace, the town of Holliston truly occupies a unique place in history. As one writer in 1894 said, “The prosperity of Holliston, Mass. is solely due to the genius of its people. The commonplace is honeycombed with the uncommon heroisms of the patient, everyday existence that make up the life of such plucky towns as Holliston. These are things that the average man is most interested in. Average life is but a portfolio of views of struggles with the commonplaces of everyday existence.”
