Marker Front:
The village of Weston is on the National Register of Historic Places. Settled in 1761, originally as the West Town of Andover. Weston was incorporated 1n 1799. The Farrar Mansur House, built c. 1795, served as a home, tavern and community center. It is now a museum of Weston's early history. The Mill, built on the site of a 1780 sawmill, was revived as a water powered gristmill in 1936. It contains an important collection of early trade tools. Weston's first firehouse, located by the millpond, now houses a Concord Coach purchased in 1880 by the Weston Coronet Band and outfitted as a bandwagon.

Marker Reverse:
The Village Green, once a frog pond and later a dump for the local tanneries, was established in 1886 as a private park by the Vermont General Assembly. It is owned by the Farrar Park Association which consists of nine local women. The first summer theater in Vermont opened its doors in Weston in 1936. A remodeled church served as the original playhouse. This burned in 1962. The present Playhouse was rebuilt on the site of the church.
