About Grafton
Grafton is a polished suburb southeast of Worcester built around one of New England's prettiest town commons — brick library, white-spired churches, and the Country Store in the historic district. Fast growth along Routes 30, 122, and the Mass Pike has added neighborhoods and a thriving retail corridor in North Grafton, but the town keeps a classic look: 18th-century farmhouses, stone walls, and village greens.
