Weston College Land is a historic site that was once the campus of Weston College, a Jesuit institution that operated from 1922 to 1959. The land was acquired by the college in 1914 and consisted of 210 acres of fields, woods, and ponds. The college built several buildings on the site, including a chapel, a library, a gymnasium, and dormitories. The college closed in 1959 due to financial difficulties and declining enrollment. The land was sold to the town of Weston in 1961 and became a public park. The park preserves some of the original college buildings and features hiking trails, picnic areas, and a playground. Weston College Land is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district.
