Weston
Weston is a
residential community in Southwestern Connecticut (about 45 miles
from New York City) with a population of 10,037, two acre zoning,
and a Board of Selectmen - Town Meeting form of government.
eston is known for its
purchase of conservation restrictions. Almost one quarter of the
Town is permanently devoted to open space use. Whether the Nature
Conservancy’s Lucius Pond Ordway - Devil’s Den 1765 acres, the 60
acre Ordway Preserve or the 645 acres of Aspetuck Land Trust, every
neighborhood can claim some piece of recreational land nearby as its
own.
Country fairs are
Weston, too. Church fairs in Spring and Fall, and the Grange Fair at
harvest time are typical Weston events. Each Saturday morning from
April to October, the Women’s League sponsors a Farmer’s Market. The
Hurlbutt PTO Memorial Day Fair provides weekend fun and games,
topped by the Volunteer Fire Department’s incomparable parade.
Everyone marches; more march than sit on the sidelines.
The Weston Commission
for the Arts plans exciting cultural events in Weston each month.
Major cultural activities are available in adjacent Westport, and in
New Haven, Stamford and New York City. The Recreation Department
provides for a wide range of activities for residents of all ages.
The 53 acre Bisceglie-Scribner Park provides active recreation and
contains picnic facilities, a swimming pond and the Kiwanis Fitness
Trail.
