DISCOVERING WESTON

 

In this section of our website, one may "Discover" Weston more fully through our bulletins, photographs of Weston Places (such as the Old Library on Boston Post Road below) and selected topics in Weston History. Contents are listed at the left.

The Weston Historical Society is committed not only to preserving the past but also to using the past to shed light on present-day town issues, such as the proposed adaptive use of the old library on Boston Post Road. We believe that understanding Weston’s past can foster a sense of community and provide a valuable perspective as we plan the future.

Other recent programs or issues of the Weston Historical Society Bulletin have featured the Josiah Smith Tavern, Field School, history of Weston as a dry town, Case Estates, and Regis College. Whatever form the Society's interest may take, the effect is always to focus attention on and increase our stock of knowledge of Weston topics and places.

Some of of our collected knowledge may be "Discovered" here.
