The Town of Freetown is a pastoral community in Bristol County with a small summer colony and a maritime history. The town`s early economy was based mostly on agriculture, but the water power of the Assonet River eventually brought grist, saw and fulling mills after 1695 and in the 18th century the town`s industries included a tannery. One of the state`s first trout hatcheries was established in Freetown, and in the 1870`s railroad dining cars and the luxurious dining rooms of ocean liners were serving Freetown trout.
