Exciting News!
Rendering showing the Wellesley History Center sporting new paint colors. The new paint is part of the work to be competed to transform 323 Washington Street into the Wellesley History Center.
The final phase of creating the Wellesley History Center has begun!
The Wellesley Historical Society has raised $2.4 million for this project. We only need an additional $300,000 to “Open the Door” to the Wellesley History Center and create a new cultural institution in Wellesley.
To finish the project, we must raise donations to cover unanticipated structural improvements, finish work, collections equipment, landscaping and more to make the Wellesley History Center something of which our town can be proud.
The Wellesley History Center will be the first public, non-profit facility dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of Wellesley. The Wellesley History Center will have rotating exhibits, activities and community events. Also, the Center will serve as gallery space for other local civic groups to host events and display their materials.
With your continued support, the Wellesley History Center will open in the fall of 2025 - the Wellesley Historical Society’s 100th Anniversary!
Please help us create the Wellesley History Center to serve you and the community.
