Since this 360th year is special, we’re planning to have the annual meeting and lunch at the nearby Emerald Rose Irish Restaurant at about 2:00 PM. We’re looking forward to a big turnout! We’ll have coffee and munchkins, cookies, fruit and drinks for snacking. Please RSVP to Jon Wyman at jonwy@comcast.net or to Pam Meppelink along with your donation.
The historic Wyman Homestead will be open to the public on Saturday, September 12 from noon until three p.m. There is no admission charge, but please consider making a donation towards the maintenance of the home.
On April 19, 2025, the Francis Wyman Association hosted a Patriots Day commemoration of Amos Wyman giving refuge to John Hancock and Sam Adams at Amos's home as they fled the British on April 19, 1775.
Needed exterior repairs and painting of the Homestead was initiated in 2024, and by August work was well underway.
Through both the physical and monetary efforts of members of the Association, we were able to complete the rebuilding of the well-sweep in 2023. Thank you to all of those who helped make this a reality!
We experienced the first industrial city in America, where innovators harnessed waterpower and created factories that were vertical assembly lines for cotton cloth weaving. We learned about the mill girls and the immigrants who provided the labor to make it all work. We learned about the role Wymans played in this advancement, including William Wyman, who developed real estate in the city, and his daughter Sarah Wyman Whitman who became an artist and entrepreneur in Boston.
