Weston might be best known today as a wealthy enclave with more than its fair share of famous sports figures, but over three centuries of history it has also been home to dairy farms, a pipe organ factory, and Pulitzer Prize winning poet Anne Sexton.

With a commemoration ceremony last weekend, Weston embarked on a yearlong 300th anniversary celebration that will be filled with concerts, a cycling tour, fireworks, even a commemorative postage stamp. An exhibit about the town’s history is also on display this month at Weston Public Library.
