The Wellington House and Farm property at 735-775 Trapelo Road is going through changes. The house was gifted to the city and is under the control of the Historical Commission. The farm and open space is under the control the Recreation Department. A wildflower meadow is planned for the open space and the Waltham Land Trust has a Wellington team of volunteers who do great work at the site. Walking paths, invasive species and plantings are being done and maintained by volunteers.

The entire property is limited in use due to several issues:

• Wellington House: Lack of adequate parking for events, structural issues of the house, needed restroom upgrades and cosmetic improvements

• Wellington Farm: Lack of water supply, lack of parking

I am engaged with the historical commission, CPC, Waltham Land Trust, mayor's office and recreation to start to plan for some use of the property. Please keep an eye on this page for updates. Below is an image carousel that can serve as a "virtual tour" until we get the property usable for the public.
