The village of Weston, one of Vermont's very old Green Mountain towns, lists in the National Register of Historic Places. Weston dates back to the 1760's and was known then as the West Town of Andover. A sawmill, driven by power from the West River, dates back to the 18th century. The original mill was destroyed by fire in the 1900s, then quickly rebuilt. Entrepreneurs converted the mill into a grist mill in the 1930s. The Weston Historical Society had provided funds to refurbish the site and preserve an interesting collection of the sawmill's tools and implements.
