You’re standing along what was once part of the old County Road, one of two main carriage routes that connected New Bedford and Boston during the 1700s and 1800s. Before highways and GPS, this was a lifeline — a route for wagons, post riders, and families traveling between the coast and the growing inland towns of Massachusetts.
The road passed between Assawompset and Quittacas Ponds, natural landmarks that guided early travelers through what’s now Lakeville. These bends and clearings became gathering spots where people stopped for rest, food, and conversation — a reminder that travel has always been about more than the destination.
Today, this same corridor still connects people. The historic County Street route has transformed into a community hub, where locals and travelers alike share stories, smiles… and sometimes a slice of something warm and familiar.
We’re all family here — just like the travelers of old who found comfort along the way. Take a moment to enjoy the history beneath your feet before continuing your own adventure.
