Who We Are
The Friends of Wompatuck State Park (FOW) is an all volunteer, not-for-profit group. It was incorporated in early 2006 for the purpose of educating the public about the park's uses & historical value as well as helping the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) preserve, maintain, and enhance the assets, history, and other features within the park.

About Wompatuck
Wompatuck State Park is located in Hingham, MA - just 35 minutes from downtown Boston. Rich in history, this land was originally the property of Indian chief Josiah Wompatuck who deeded the land to English Settlers in 1665. During WWII and the Korean War it served as an ammunitions depot for the U.S. military. Today it is a 3,526 acre park that extends from Hingham into the neighboring towns of Cohasset, Scituate, and Norwell. Learn more about the Park's History.
