American Legion Post 133, which was established in 1922, will meet in September at the new Community Center. All veterans are welcome. 

Post members collaborate with the Public Ceremonies Committee on Memorial Day and Veterans Day and engage in a variety of community service activities. Last year, the post worked with the staff at the Carriage House at Lee’s Farm to install a flagpole and a plaque honoring the late Edward Lee, a longtime member of the post whose family owned the farm for many years.

The post is named for Sgt. Charles H. Alward, the first Wayland resident killed in World War I. The group has been meeting monthly at Wayland Town Building. For more information, email chapost133@gmail.com.
