winchesterhistory
Winchester’s history dates back to its incorporation in 1850, but its roots stretch to the 17th century as part of Woburn. The arrival of the railroad in the mid-19th century transformed Winchester into one of Boston’s first commuter suburbs, attracting professionals who built the stately homes still admired today. Today the town is served by two MBTA stations – the brand new Winchester Center stop, and Wedgemere – taking commuters directly to Boston’s North Station in under 20 minutes.
