After growing up in New Hampshire and living in Maine for the last 25 years, you'd think I’d heard of every town by now—but nope. Turns out, Maine and New Hampshire share at least seven town names. Same name, totally different personalities.
Sure, Massachusetts is well known for having a wealth of history, especially when it comes to the U.S. But what about having ne of the most underrated historic small cities in the world?

Thanks to this fact, it seems that more specifically, two of the most eccentric towns throughout all of New England are right here in Massachusetts.
