South Hamilton, Massachusetts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
South Hamilton is a district within Hamilton, Massachusetts that is home to Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, an interdenominational, evangelical seminary; the prestigious Pingree School[citation needed]; the Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School; the Miles River Middle School; and the semi-famous Ice Cream Junction, a place where many kids (and adults) go for traditional homemade ice cream. Actually the junction doesn't exist anymore. Also in South Hamilton is Myopia Hunt Club, a private golf club which has hosted more United States Opens than any other course. Myopia is also the first private hunt club in the United States. President Taft was a previous member here.
South Hamilton was also the site of General George Patton's summer home. In honor of the general's achievements in World War II, the town named their central park after him, and even placed a full-sezed WWII tank as a permanent fixture in the park. The local sports teams also use a general as their mascot, though the mascot is officially known as Jerry General.
Actor David Morse grew up on Porter Lane in South Hamilton.
