Hi Jim, I don't live in Sharon, but there is a train depot there. You can catch the train from South Station in Boston. You can get a subway car to South station from Logan Airport. I should add that you take the Providence train line - it stops in Sharon.

OK, I've got to ask: other than family and/or friends, what attracts someone from the UK to visit Sharon, MA? It is a pleasant but unremarkable Boston suburb, not unlike many others. Why Sharon? Is there something I'm missing about this town?

Hi
You ask why someone from the UK would want to visit a small town like Sharon Well My eldest daughter was called Sharon she died 5 years ago aged 35 My wife and I think it is a good idea to visit a town with the same name as my daughter.I did not even know there was a town called SHARON until I found it on the web.
Regards Jim

Very touching, and a lovely way to remember someone.

You'll find the town of Sharon, MA to be a quiet and attractive suburb of Boston. The town is known for being an open and tolerant community--it is home to a large Jewish community and a diverse assortment of 18 houses of worship (Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, and Muslim). The town's most prominent geographic feature is it's lovely Lake Massapoag, in the center of town.
