The Francis Wyman Association

Welcome to the Francis Wyman Association.
We are a 501(3)(c) non-profit association dedicated to the preservation of the historic Francis Wyman homestead in Burlington, Massachusetts in the United States.
The Wymans are part of American history. About 1640, John and Francis Wyman from Westmill, England arrived in America, a mere 20 years after the Mayflower. That same year John and Francis and their Richardson family uncles, who accompanied them to America, signed the Town Charter for the establishment of Woburn, MA.
John and Francis were industrious young men who, having apprenticed as tanners, established a tanning enterprise, and became relatively wealthy in their own right plying their trade.
By the 1670’s the Wyman brothers owned a thousand acres of land stretching out to what is now Burlington and Billerica.
Francis’ farmhouse, completed in 1666, still stands on its original site at 56 Francis Wyman Road in Billerica, MA.
The house is the Wyman Homestead and the centerpiece about which the Francis Wyman Association revolves. We extend a welcome to all who are part of this exciting story, or who are simply interested in this part of American history.
We hope you will join us in preserving this very important part of our American heritage. We encourage you to pass this on to your children and grandchildren, so they too can understand the important part their ancestry had in the building of this great nation.
