== Architecture == The architecture of Weathersfield, Vermont, reflects its rich history and the development of the area over the centuries. The town, chartered in 1761, saw modest settlement in the following decade. By the 1790s, the population had grown significantly, leading to the construction of notable buildings. One of the key architectural highlights is the Weathersfield Center Historic District. This district encompasses a small cluster of historically significant buildings, including the town's second church building and the home of its first settled minister. The church, built in 1787 and later destroyed by fire, was replaced by a brick Federal style meeting house in 1821. This meeting house is notable for its restrained late Federal architecture, featuring round-headed door openings, a Palladian window, and a fully pedimented gable with an arched eyebrow window. It also has a multi-stage tower, comprising a square stage with a multilight oculus window, an open octagonal belfry, and a louvered cupola. Another significant architectural feature in Weathersfield is the Foster House, built in 1825 as a Federal-style two-story house for the town's minister. This building, attached to a simpler 1-1/2 story Cape style house, stands on Weathersfield Center Road and is now a historic house museum operated by the local historical society. Additionally, Weathersfield is home to an early stone animal pound, likely built in the 1780s, which reflects the town's agricultural heritage and the practical needs of its early residents.
