Weston Community Organizations

Two eighteenth century taverns kept open by volunteers, a working farm on town land, roughly ninety miles of trails maintained mostly by an association of residents, and a newsroom that covers your own town meetings. Every organization on this page takes volunteers, and several of them are how a resident with no title at all ends up in the room.

Community Organizations

Organization	What they do
Land’s Sake	A community farm and land stewardship nonprofit that works land the town owns, which makes it a good example of how a town asset and a volunteer organization can share a job.
Weston Forest & Trail Association	Funds and maintains most of the roughly 90 miles of trails on the town’s conservation land, alongside the Conservation Commission that owns it.
Weston Historical Society	The private nonprofit that collects and preserves the town’s history. It is a separate thing from the town’s own Historical Commission, which is a public body.
Golden Ball Tavern Museum	A museum in the Georgian tavern Isaac Jones built on the post road in the 1760s.
Friends of Josiah Smith Tavern	Volunteer stewards of the 1757 tavern.
Weston Media Center	Community access media. It records the Select Board’s meetings, runs a community calendar, and teaches production, so it is one place a student can learn a skill and watch the town at the same time.
Weston Observer	An independent nonprofit local newsroom that publishes every Friday and is named on the town’s own Local Newspapers page. It reported the 2026 election results the day they were counted.
Weston Community League	A community service and education organization.
Weston Friendly Society of the Performing Arts	One of the oldest community theater societies, and open to residents who want to be on a stage or behind it.
League of Women Voters of Weston	Civic education and voter services. The town’s own Community Links page lists the local chapter, which runs candidate information and registration help around elections.
