Weymouth Landing

Bisected by Washington Street (Route 53), Weymouth Landing is situated at the Town’s western border and is shared in part with the Town of Braintree. The Town line is defined by the original path of the Smelt Brook, which has divided Braintree and Weymouth for more than 300 years. 

In the “days of sail” the Landing was a bustling place where wharves lined the shore to deliver lumber, coal, brick, sand, and many other commercial resources. The eastern edge of the village center, bounded by Front Street, has been designated a national historic district.  

Today Weymouth Landing hosts a number of local restaurants within walking distance of the village's many single-family homes, apartment buildings, and an MBTA Commuter Rail Station. Mixed-use buildings are allowed by special permit, making the area attractive for transit-oriented development. 

Weymouth Landing is visually anchored by the Sacred Heart Church and the old Weymouth Savings Bank building. Two parochial schools and Weymouth’s main library are found in the area, as well.
