Weymouth Center for
the Arts & Humanities has flourished as a full-fledged
cultural center since 1979, with an established chamber music
series and lecture series. Our writers-in-residence program
offers writers stays of up to two weeks to pursue their work.
There have been over six hundred residencies here, and many
writers have said their most creative periods occurred in
the tranquil, inspiring atmosphere of the Boyds' home. The
Chamber Music Series features nationally and internationally
known chamber musicians and performers from the music facilities
of North Carolina's universities. Local youth are provided
an opportunity to participate in the Writers competition.
The Ragan Writers Series hosts readings by a diverse group
of North Carolina's highly acclaimed writers as well as the
Blumenthal Writers and Readers Series. The lecture series
features a variety of subjects presented by prominent professors
and educators. The Weymouth Center also
enjoys a strong affiliation with area garden clubs, including
the Sandhills Council of Garden Clubs.

Available as a location for private functions, Weymouth is
also a favorite setting for weddings, receptions, galas, recitals and
picnics.
