Preserving Weymouth

One of our most celebrated cultural centers, the Weymouth estate, is nearly lost when it’s willed to a local community college in 1974. “Just when it seemed that James Boyd’s homeplace was to go under the bulldozers, a group of interested Sandhills citizens was galvanized into action.” The Friends of Weymouth, Inc., forms and purchases the home and grounds to restore the property to its original glory. The nonprofit maintains Weymouth’s park trails and facilities and continues to promote conservation.
