Planned Giving — The 40s Society
The Weston History & Culture Center's 40s Society is a community of forward-thinking individuals who are creating a lasting legacy of support dedicated to telling Weston's stories. By simply naming the Weston History & Culture Center in your estate plans, you automatically become part of this community.
The Society takes its name from the Coley House: built in 1841, the Greek Revival style house was lived in by five generations of the Coley family, and its restoration and reinterpretation focus on life in the 1940s.
