A Vision for Woburn’s Future
The Castle Arts and Community Center will transform the historic Wyman School property into a vibrant, inclusive gathering place where residents of all ages can connect, learn, create and bring new energy to downtown Woburn. By preserving a treasured landmark while reimagining its use, this project strengthens community ties, supports small businesses, and enriches everyday life. It’s an investment in connection, creativity, and a stronger, more vibrant Woburn for generations to come.
Potential Uses
As the process unfolds, we will hold public meetings and conduct surveys to gauge the interest and needs of Woburn’s community. Some potential ideas for inclusion in Woburn’s new Arts and Community Center are listed below.
