South Grafton blends mill-era heritage with everyday convenience along the Blackstone River, offering an easygoing pace within Worcester County. Part of the town of Grafton, this village puts you close to regional job centers in Worcester and shopping in Millbury, while keeping weekend recreation right at hand. Trails and paddling at the Blackstone River and Canal Heritage State Park are a short hop away, and commuters appreciate access to the MBTA Framingham/Worcester Line via Grafton Station in nearby North Grafton.
Families gravitate to the strong local school system. Grafton Public Schools serves the village with a thoughtful grade configuration that starts at South Grafton Elementary School and progresses to Grafton High School, known for its academics, arts, and athletics. The expanded Grafton Public Library anchors community life with programs for all ages, while the town’s calendar—posted on the Town of Grafton site—keeps you plugged into concerts, farmers markets, and seasonal festivals. Just up the road, the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University adds a distinctive academic presence and brings continuing-ed lectures and family-friendly events to the area.
