Once the original starting point of the world famous Boston Marathon, which still runs through Ashland, the town is also known as the site of Henry Warren’s invention of the electric clock, later manufactured here under the Telechron name. Residents, businesses, and visitors look forward the “MetroWest-Famous” Ashland Farmers Market, The Dragonfly Festival, The Corner Spot and Ashland Day, our annual celebration of traditional New England spirit!
