Echoes of Liberty
Arts Wayland and the Wayland Museum & Historical Society are teaming up for a Spring 2026 call and response exhibition.
- Exhibit Dates:

- June 1st – July 31st at the Wayland Museum and Historical Society
- Reception: Sunday, June 21, 12-4pm at the Wayland Museum
Everyone has a story here.
This exhibition explores Wayland’s sports history through the lens of community — who built it, who was left out, and what sport has made possible across generations. From frozen ponds and rope tows to Title IX, adaptive sports, and the coaches who shaped lives, The Home Team asks what our games reveal about who we are, who we were, and who we want to be.
The exhibition and programs unfold across four seasons at the Wayland Museum & Historical Society and satellite displays.
This exhibition was developed with community partners.
Interested in getting involved? Have a story, photographs, objects, or memories connected to sport in Wayland?
We want to hear from you. Contact info@waylandmuseum.org
