Lakes, Forest, and Village Character
Wrentham is one of Norfolk County's oldest towns, with a village center of white clapboard buildings, a common, and the Fiske Public Library at its heart.
Beyond the center, the town opens into lakes, state forest, and rolling residential roads — all with quick access to I-495 and Route 1 for commuting in either direction.
