Community Leaders Launch New Castle Arts and Community Center Website and Unveil Vision for Historic Wyman Pr

WOBURN, MA — The Board of Directors for the Castle Arts and Community center led by Susan Thifault, Dr. Patricia McCauley, Madeline Farrell, Catherine Shaughnessy and Erin Merceruio Nelson who are a dedicated group of Woburn residents, announced the launch of the official Castle Arts and Community Center website, marking a significant milestone in the effort to preserve and revitalize the historic Wyman Castle, school property, and surrounding grounds.

The launch represents the evolution of the grassroots Save the Wyman movement into a formal nonprofit organization with a clear mission: to restore one of Woburn's most treasured landmarks and transform it into a vibrant arts, cultural, educational, and community destination for generations to come.

The new website serves as a comprehensive resource for residents, city officials, supporters, donors, and community partners interested in learning about the organization's vision, leadership, history, and plans for the future of the Wyman property.

Reviving a Woburn Treasure—Together

The Wyman Castle and school property already stand as one of Woburn's most recognizable landmarks—rich in history, character, and untapped potential. The Castle Arts and Community Center proposal is not about creating something new from the ground up. It is about restoring, preserving, and reactivating a remarkable community asset that already belongs to the people of Woburn.

The organization is preparing to respond to the City's anticipated Request for Proposal (RFP) and looks forward to partnering with Woburn officials to secure a long-term lease agreement for the property. Through private fundraising, grants, donations, partnerships, and community support, the nonprofit stands ready to invest the resources, expertise, and care necessary to bring the site back to life while preserving its historic legacy.

• Why Woburn Needs an Arts and Community Center
