A Collaboration

The Friends of Stonehurst (also known as the Robert Treat Paine Historical Trust) was formed in 1991 to assist the property owner, the City of Waltham, in the care of Stonehurst and its surrounding 109-acre site. In collaboration with the City, the Friends have built an impressive track record of securing and matching highly competitive grants for capital work and special projects.
