Freetown station is an MBTA Commuter Rail station located in the Assonet village of Freetown, Massachusetts. The station is served by the Fall River Branch of the Fall River/New Bedford Line. It opened on March 24, 2025, as part of the first phase of the South Coast Rail project. The station has a single side platform on the west side of the Fall River Secondary, along with a park and ride lot.
The Fall River Railroad opened through Freetown in 1845. Two stations on the line in Freetown were open until the 1930s. Freetown was announced as a potential South Coast Rail station in 2009. The planned station site was relocated slightly to the northeast in 2018. A construction contract was issued in 2020, and the station was substantially completed in December 2022.
