 Welcome to the Official Web Site for the Town of Monson, Massachusetts. Nestled quietly between the vibrant foliage of the Pioneer Valley, Monson embodies the pastoral, unspoiled charm that is New England.
Serving as a bedroom community for surrounding areas, Monson is a historical tapestry for those who prefer a simpler, uncomplicated life where the true value of home and family flourish. Steeped in history, the town was incorporated in 1775 and stands as solid as the granite foundation from which it was born.
Visitors will enjoy a tour of the town and its many sites-of-interest including the historic Memorial Town Hall, Lyon Memorial Library, Flynt Park and “Millionaire’s Mile.”
The town gained recognition in the early 1800s as a main producer of fine millinery and woolen products and for its flawless granite deposits, which were mined, cut and distributed throughout the Northeast. Because of this, the timeless essence of Monson can literally be found in the very fiber of our country’s roots.
With its summer festivals, art shows and cultural offerings, Monson’s robust history, bucolic surroundings and progressive educational system remain uniquely New England.
