About Us
Historic Weston, Inc. is a community-based non-profit corporation (501(c)3 filed) run by volunteers whose Board is selected to set policy that will guide the organization in its mission. An Executive Director will serve as staff support for the Board and volunteers.
Mission and Objectives
Our mission is to preserve the historic and traditional nature of our community, and to protect the signature buildings, parks and spaces that are the heart of our town’s historic fabric by:
- Acquiring, restoring, renovating, and positioning for active use properties identified as having unique historical significance, and intrinsic architectural or aesthetic merit;
- Developing and facilitating appropriate uses of acquired assets for community benefit;
- Overseeing, supervising, and maintaining the organization’s historic assets; and
- Fostering a deeper understanding and enjoyment of life in Weston, past and present, throughout the community.
Core Project
The Town of Weston owns two historic buildings that are the cornerstone of our Town Center – the Old Library and the Josiah Smith Tavern. They are situated on 7.24 acres (two separate parcels) opposite the Town Green and Town Hall. This property is bordered on the North by Boston Post Road, on the South by Boston Post Road By-pass (Rte 20), on the East by School Street, and on the West by St. Julia Parish. Neither building is needed at this time for Town government purposes.
