The following are historic pictures of Easton and people who played a major role in the history of the town. Click on a picture for more details. These photos are all from the book History of Easton, Mass., by William L. Chaffin, published in 1886 by John Wilson and Son, University Press, Cambridge, MA. Several copies of the book are held by the Ames Free Library (pictured below), Easton's public library. It's also available for purchase from the Easton Historical Society (508-238-7774). Here is the text of one chapter of that book recounting a fascinating tour of Easton in 1886. It contains links to many of these same photos. Compiled by Tom Tullis.

In addition, here are two old maps of Easton:
Both maps include individual houses and the names of their owners. The maps are quite large so that the individual names may be read. Here is a reduced version of the map of North Easton in 1886, on which you can click some of the historic buildings shown above.
