Modernist architect Walter Gropius had this house built in 1938 in the Bauhaus style. He and his family lived here until his death in 1969, and it was eventually turned into a museum. The interior design is just as interesting as the exterior.

This section of the Mass Central Rail Trail (MCRT) runs for three miles through Weston, and is part of a planned 25-mile trail stretching from Berlin to Waltham. The trail is accessible from Church Street, Town House Road, and Concord Road, here. The trail is a multi-use path that allows bicycles, joggers, walkers, dogs, and horseback riders. Dogs must be leashed on the trail, and all users should yield to horses. Unfortunately there are no garbage cans along the trail, so users should take their trash with them to help keep this great recreational resource clean.

Once a historic psychiatric hospital, this site has been converted into a sprawling public park, ideal for cyclists to explore. While the buildings remain untouched, it's an intriguing experience to pedal around, breathe in the fresh air, and admire the architecture. Movie enthusiasts might even recognize familiar scenery from the 2020 film "New Mutants."
