About the Weston, Connecticut Area WESTON
Weston is known for its sweeping fields,
ponds, riverside vistas, thickly wooded forests and rolling hills. This is
definitely country, but a very sophisticated country. Weston residents have
worked hard to preserve a rural feeling, voting for two-acre zoning early in
the 1950s and recently voting to keep the whole town on septics and private
wells. Although there are dozens of "McMansions" being built every year, the
old-timers work hard to preserve the historic look of Weston perhaps seen best
in the Town Hall and the Norfield Church.
The town prides itself on the complete
absence of industry and confines retail operations to one small shopping center
that provides a grocery store, a bank, a dry-cleaning shop, a pharmacy, a
hardware store, a luncheonette, and a service station. Most shopping
opportunities are outside of the town either in Westport to the south or Wilton
to the west. The only restaurant, the Cobb's Mill Inn, is in a picturesque 19th
century mill. This quaint ambience attracts a handful of celebrities. Singer
and guitarist, Jose Feliciano, stage and screen actor Christopher Plummer,
author Erica Jong, and Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards can often be
seen shopping at the market.
