The Wellington Farm Historic District is a historic district at 487—500 Wellesley Street in Weston, Massachusetts. The district encompasses a historic farm, whose main house was built c. 1760. Included in the 35-acre (14 ha) district are a barn complex with buildings dating from the 19th and 20th centuries, a modern greenhouse, and farm fields lined by stone walls. The property was operated as a farm until the end of the 19th century, at which time it was turned into a summer estate. It was acquired by Arthur Wight Wellington, president of U.S. Leather, in 1907, and remains in that family.[2]
The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
