Tinkertown, Duxbury
The Duxbury neighborhood of Tinkertown is an area on the southwest side of Duxbury. The area runs along both sides of Elm Street and Tobey Garden, north of Tremont Street, from Tremont Street up to the Route 3 overpass.
Tinkertown was established in 1757. Many tinkers and other tradesmen, especially those serving the shipbuilding trade, lived here in years past.
In the past few years, homes in this neighborhood have sold for prices between about $300,000 to $600,000.
The Duxbury public schools start with Chandler Elementary School, then the Alden School, Duxbury Middle School and Duxbury High School.
The side streets off of Elm are very quiet. There's a big pond off of Island Creek. It's a wooded area, so it's very pleasant whether it's sunny, rainy or snowing!
Like much of Duxbury, many of the residents are raising their families here, or have raised their children and still live here.
I attach a 15-second video of the historic marker.
