  • Come On In… The Water’s Fine!

    Wayland Free Public Library 5 Concord Road

    Wayland’s Integration into a 177-Year Regional Water Legacy. A History Society Talk with Eric Peterson, Executive Director, Metropolitan Waterworks Museum will discuss the historical development of one of the nation's earliest water systems and how Wayland’s new connection to it represents not just an infrastructural solution but a continuation of its intertwined history with Boston’s regional water evolution. Wayland’s recent integration into the MWRA system reflects a broader historical arc: from rural self-reliance to regional interdependence, echoing Greater Boston’s evolving water infrastructure since the 19th century.
