(Buffie) Ives and others organized a group of colleagues to preserve and protect the Boyds’ legacy, the Boyd House and its beautiful surroundings. Friends of Weymouth,Inc. was chartered as a nonprofit corporation which purchased the home and grounds in 1979 to establish a cultural center. Weymouth Center for the Arts & Humanities opened its doors on July 20, 1979.
