A Fall Reflection on Redd's Pond

  Welcome to the official Website of the   Town of Marblehead, Massachusetts. A   coastal community of approximately 21,000 residents located 18 miles north of Boston, Marblehead is famous for its un-
surpassed contributions to the American Revolution and Civil War. Today, its quaint narrow streets and historic 17th and 18th Century buildings mirror Marblehead as it has existed since its founding in 1629. In Marblehead, one doesn't just reflect on the town's historic past - they live it every day.
