Weston, New England town in Middlesex County, Massachusetts.
Weston is a town in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, located approximately 24 kilometers west of Boston. The area spans 28 square kilometers and consists of forests, parks, and residential neighborhoods.
The town was established in 1642 as part of the Watertown settlement and gained independent town status in 1713. It transitioned from a farming community to a residential town over subsequent centuries.
The Weston Friendly Society, a performing group established in 1885, stages musicals throughout the year and donates the earnings to support local causes in town.
The town maintains about 145 kilometers of trails through 800 hectares of protected green space, offering opportunities for walking and horseback riding. Most trails are accessible to visitors and clearly marked.
Two historic taverns from the Boston Post Road era remain standing: the Josiah Smith Tavern and the Golden Ball Tavern, which now operates as a museum. These buildings offer a glimpse into travel culture from earlier times.
