Top Ten Countdown - #8

The Mighty Ipswich River: The original old downtown (that we will be very nearby) is built along the Ipswich River. One-third of Ipswich's land mass is protected salt marsh and estuaries, which limits development and helps to preserve open space and scenic views. The Ipswich River flows 35 miles from the west to the town center, where a dam marks the change to a tidal estuary that continues to the Atlantic.  Old mill buildings - Ipswich was once the stocking capital of the world - have been converted to condos and store fronts. Choate Bridge is the oldest stone arch bridge in America, built in 1764.
