Whitman, Massachusetts, is located in Plymouth County in the eastern portion of the state, approximately twenty miles south of Boston. Whitman is probably best-known as the birthplace of the chocolate chip cookie, which was invented here in the late 1930s. Whitman is home to nearly 15,000 residents and features some wonderfully restored turn-of-the-century homes, including beautiful federal-style farmhouses and charming refurbished Victorians. Nantucket shingle homes, colonials, and Cape style homes are prevalent throughout these well-maintained neighborhoods, as are newer split-level and ranch-style homes, depending upon what district of town you happen to be in. At the heart of Whitman lies Town Park, surrounded by wide streets and Georgian-revival homes. Many of Whitman's historic neighborhoods feature large, shady lots and several home sites overlook one of the town's green spaces like Hobart Meadow or the Parker W. Bates Memorial Field. The majority of the historical homes now available in Whitman have been updated to feature the same modern amenities as newer homes recently constructed in the area.
