For those who thought the long-running saga of the Josiah Smith Barn and Tavern restoration project would never end, light is beginning to flicker in the Tavern lamp.
Two non-profit groups have moved into the “Tavern” building, which is the two-story structure on the western side of the property.
Weston Forest & Trail has been a strong supporter of the restoration project over the long course of its planning, and will occupy Room 202 on the second floor.
Women’s Community League of Weston will occupy Room 201 on the second floor, and will revive their social events in the restored ballroom on the second floor as well.
Negotiations continue with the Weston Historical Society, which previously occupied space on the first floor.
The barn building on the eastern side of the property will be occupied by a restaurant to be chosen by a competitive bidding process.
