2025 is the Weston Historical Museum’s 65th year
Sixty-five years ago a dedicated group of Weston residents recognized that Weston was an exceptional community and that its history should be preserved. They worked together to create the Weston Historical Museum, where the documents, artifacts, photographs, and stories of Weston's past could be preserved and made available for the future.
You can assure that their mission will continue.
Give $65, $650, or $6,500 to continue our local heritage and their dream. They believed the best way forward was to know where you came from. Your support will enable the Weston Historical Museum to live up to that vision.
Cumulative Donations up to $50,000.00 will be matched during our 65th year by a generous member and donor.
From rare Native American moccasins to early physician instruments to vintage clothing displays, the Weston Historical Museum has preserved local artifacts to enjoy today
