About the Greenbush Trust
The $1.35 million Greenbush Historic Preservation Trust is the result of a negotiation between the Town of Hingham and the MBTA. The purpose of the trust is to offset any negative impacts caused by the Greenbush Commuter Rail line on the Town’s historic resources and unique character. The trust fund is administered by the Town Treasurer in consultation with the Historical Commission.
