For over 10,000 years, people have lived in what is now called Massachusetts. Once the last glacier retreated and the land and climate stabilized, people settled permanently here. A place like Passanageset, with rivers, the ocean, uplands, and quarries all close by, was as desirable a place to settle then as it is today.
Passanageset Park at Broad Meadows Marsh celebrates the First People who settled here; their descendants, the Massachusett; and the wealth of natural resources Passanageset has provided for thousands of years.
