Weston, New England town in Middlesex County, Massachusetts.
Located 15 miles west of Boston, Weston spans 17.3 square miles of land with parks, forests, and residential neighborhoods across its territory.
Established in 1642 as part of Watertown settlement, Weston gained independent town status in 1713 and developed from a farming community into a residential area.
The Weston Friendly Society, founded in 1885, performs multiple musicals throughout the year and distributes proceeds to support local charitable initiatives.
The town maintains 90 miles of trails through 2,000 acres of preserved land, offering residents opportunities for hiking, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing.
Two historical taverns from the Boston Post Road era remain standing: the Josiah Smith Tavern and the Golden Ball Tavern, now operating as a museum.
