Woven with a series of ponds, Winchester has an exquisite downtown area, where several major arteries meet at a roundabout. This district was developed in two flurries of construction following the arrival of the Boston and Lowell Railroad in 1835 and then after the end of the Civil War, creating a showcase of Victorian architecture. One dominant s...
Heading up the slope to the east, you can set off on foot from Winchester Center and soon find yourself in this 2,200 acre tract of rugged wooded hills and lakes, crisscrossed by more than 100 miles of trails. The Middlesex Fells Reservation is vital for Winchester’s water supply, with the active North, Middle and South Reservoirs, all on the west ...
In a cute Colonial-style complex next to Judkins Pond, the Griffin Museum of Photography was founded in 1992 by noted photographer Arthur Griffin (1903-2001). A pioneer of color photography, Griffin worked as a photojournalist for the Boston Globe, Life, and Time and published several books. When it opened, the Griffin Museum became the first museu...
In 2007, to stop a large-scale housing development, the Town of Winchester purchased this historic farm, which was then sold to the Wright-Locke Land Trust in 2015. In the late 18th century, the land that became the Wright-Locke Farm was owned by the famous explorer Philemon Wright (1760-1839), who sold it to Josiah Locke in 1800. Locke and his des...
A total success since officially opening in 2019, the Tri-Community Greenway links Winchester Center with Stoneham’s Central Square. The trail is almost seven miles long, with much of its northern section along the right-of-way of the Stoneham Branch (1863) of the Boston & Lowell Railroad. This is a hassle-free link between two thriving downtown di...
There’s a freshwater beach a few steps from Wedgemere station in Winchester, on a little peninsula at Upper Mystic Lake. Part of Mystic Lakes State Park (more below), Shannon Beach is open from Memorial Day weekend, and when we wrote this article had recently upgraded its facilities, adding a brand new bathhouse and new benches and picnic tables. T...
Shannon Beach is one element of a pair of lakes in the south of Winchester, at the head of the Mystic River. This encompasses the Upper and Lower Mystic Lakes, which are a go-to for recreation, on the water and along their verdant banks. The upper lake is the home of Medford Boat Club and the sailing pavilion for Tufts University. On a more casual ...
One of the finest pieces of residential architecture in Winchester is a rare surviving country house, built in the Beaux-Arts style in 1906. This was the home of Oren Sanborn, son of James Sanborn, who co-founded the Chase & Sanborn Coffee Company. One reason for Sanborn House’s survival is that the estate was sold off in 1920 to the Religious of C...
The destination for that spur of the Tri-Community Greenway is a 102-acre pond, fringed by wooded parkland on the south and west sides. You can walk or jog around the entirety of Horn Pond on a paved trail, and it’s worth taking a seat along Arlington Rd down the east side to watch the sun go down over the water. Summer is a fine time to visit the ...
Looming over the south side of Horn Pond there’s a tall hill, still in Woburn but surrounded on three sides by Winchester land. In the middle of the 20th century the steep slopes of Horn Pond Mountain were home to a ski resort, and faint remnants of the chair lifts can still be seen amid the vegetation. If you have about 45 minutes to spare, you ca...
