Boston Globe 5/9/15: What is it like to live in Wayland? White municipal buildings clustered around a church on a green? Sure. A covered bridge? Of course. A Revolutionary War-era cemetery? Wayland has that, too. If you were gathering specifications for a quaint Massachusetts town, this community on the western edge of the Boston metropolitan area would be a pretty good model. Wayland straddles the line between rural and suburban, preserving its Colonial character and striking a charming balance in the eyes of the people attracted there by the quiet streets and good schools.
