TOWN HISTORY: Canton
is the home of American Freedom. In 1775 at the Doty Tavern, at the Foot
of the Great Blue Hill, the "Suffolk
Resolves" were drafted. The Resolves were finalized in Milton, Mass.
Paul Revere then transported the documents by horseback to the
"Continental Congress" in Philadelphia. The Suffolk Resolves were
America's Declaration of War against England. At this time Canton was
still a part of the Town of Stoughton. (Read
