Almost one-quarter of the Town is permanently devoted to open space.  Whether the northern Nature Conservancy – Lucius Pond Ordway – Devil’s Den containing 1,765 acres, or Katherine Ordway Preserve containing 60 acres on the east side of Weston, or 645 acres of Aspetuck Land Trust sprinkled around the Town, every neighborhood can claim some piece of recreational land nearby.

 

Country Fairs & Farmerundefineds Markets

Country Fairs & Farmer’s Markets

Emanuel Church and Norfield Church are famous for their fairs.  The Grange Fair at harvest time is another popular event, along with Weston Elementary and Weston Intermediate School’s PTO’s Memorial Day Fair which is a draw for the entire region.  Each year the Fair follows an old fashioned Memorial Day Parade, which is hosted by the Weston Volunteer Fire  Department.  After the parade, all can have free hot dogs and soda.

A popular Farmer’s Market is held on the grounds of the Coley Homestead at the Weston Historical Society on Saturdays from May through September. The Weston Grange is host to a “Winter Market” from mid-November until early May.
