Braintree
is a small town located just to the north and west of
Randolph. It is very much a rural
town and is well known for its lovely scenic vistas.
Braintree is also a very musical town -- the home of Gwyneth
Walker, composer of over 130 commissioned works for
orchestra, band, chorus and chamber ensembles; and an
independent musical group, ironically named "Braintree",
comprised of Alan Stewart and Todd Keenhold.
There are only a couple general stores in Braintree, so
Randolph is
where supplies and cultural activities are to be found.
Braintree has its own elementary
school.
The junior and senior high school is
within the Orange Southwest
Supervisory Union located in Randolph.
