History From Home
Weston History at your fingertips! An ongoing series of short, at-home history reads and mini-lectures — "Weston History Bites" pieces on everyday topics (ice houses, patriotic music of the early 1900s, wartime life) alongside longer virtual-lecture recordings, like a local beekeeper's history of honey production in Weston.
"Without a refrigerator and freezer our food would spoil, especially on sweltering hot days. The modern-day refrigerator is essentially a new invention. What did people do during the days of pre-refrigeration? They built ice houses!"
History From Home: Kids Corner
Learn about history while having fun! Kid-focused activities that pair with the adult History From Home content: word searches ("Weston's One-Room Schools & School Supplies," "Weston's Nature Preserves"), printable jigsaw puzzles built from historic class photos, and short video-and-activity pairings.
"Did you know that Weston had a toy factory?! Learn about and see some of the toys the factory created."
School Programs
The Weston History & Culture Center is pleased to share the history of Weston with local students. As a kick off to their Biography unit, 2nd graders learn about Horace C. Hurlbutt Jr., the namesake of their school, as well as other Weston residents who have made an impact locally, nationally and globally.
3rd graders from Weston Intermediate School visit the Center to learn about aspects of everyday life in Weston years ago — hands-on activities teach about Weston's agricultural history, geography, important events in Weston history, and life for the Coley family in the 1940s.
These programs are also offered to home school students and schools from neighboring towns. If you're interested in bringing your class to visit, please contact us at director@westoncthistory.org for more information and pricing.
