CARLISLE TOWN OVERVIEW
The Town of Carlisle offers peaceful residential living located within a
short ride of Boston. Carlisle maintains a rich tradition in the
preservation of open space and scenic ways and almost 20% of the town's 15
square miles is dedicated conservation land. The town serves as the home
of the only working cranberry bog in Middlesex County and also offers
residents and visitors the beauty of Great Brook State Farm Park, numerous
hiking trails and open fields.
Carlisle maintains a small-town atmosphere with the enthusiastic support of
its citizenry. The town operates by the historic open town meeting form of
government and its residents volunteer their time to serve on the town's
boards and committees. Carlisle also offers an excellent elementary school
system and is joined with the Town of Concord to offer a quality high
school education.
