Most older houses have a dedicated valve on the interior side of each sill cock, often in the basement ceiling near where the pipe passes through the rim joist. Frost-free hydrants skip that valve, but they only drain properly with the hose disconnected. If you cannot find an interior valve, the main is the fallback.

Both exist across this part of the state, and the answer often changes street by street rather than town by town. Homes on the older built-up streets tend to be on a public main, while properties further out toward Milton run their own wells. What you are on decides whether a curb stop exists at all.

It is common on gate valves that have sat untouched for decades, since the stem corrodes in place and the handle can shear off under force. Forcing it is how a slow problem becomes a flood. A plumber can put in a quarter-turn ball valve, which stays workable and gives you a clear open or closed position.

Yes, closing the main and draining the system is the standard move for an empty house through a cold stretch, and it removes the risk of a split line running for days. Heat left on low is not a substitute if the power goes out. Anyone leaving a place near Malta unoccupied should also know where the curb stop is as a second line of defense.
