Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Town of Abington, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, From Its First Settlement I dedicate the following History of my native Town to ray eldest son, Benjamin Hobart, Jr. As father and son, and as copartners in business for a number of years, under the firm of "B. Hobarrt Son," there has always been between us a most cordial unity and friendship; and although he has been away from me, of late years, on business of his own, in a distant part of our country (California), there has been a continual correspondence kept up between us of the most confidential and sympathetic kind. lie has assured me of the constant continuance of his friendship and regard; this assurance has afforded me much consolation in my declining years; and, as an expression of my grateful feelings towards him, I inscribe to him the following History.

Book Description
Throughout Abington's history, its central location between Boston and Plymouth has been a vantage point that has been reflected in both work and play. It is Abington that provided the white-oak planks for the USS Constitution, and the town's Island Grove Park had national significance during the abolitionist movement. Abington was founded and built around the mills and then grew with the times to become a focal point for the thriving shoe industry. Many wealthy industrialists and capitalists have left their mark with brick and mortar. Their mansions still line the streets, and their lives shaped Abington forever. Abington presents an illustrated portrait of what it was like to live and work in the town during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It presents vivid images of the townsfolk, the shoe factories, and the old roads through Abington. The book includes images of John L. Sullivan, heavyweight boxing champion, and of the Buffum automobile, built on Centre Avenue. With photographs from the Abington Historical Commission, the Dyer Memorial Library, the Historical Society of Old Abington, and personal collections, Abington is sure to evoke memories of a bygone era.
