Today my two-mile walk takes me through the heart of Wayland, beginning at the Wayland Variety & Deli and ending at a restaurant called The Local.

Wayland was originally settled in 1638 as a part of the
Sudbury Plantation by the Sudbury River. In 1780, as a result of a taxation dispute, Sudbury was divided into East and West Sudbury, with East Sudbury eventually taking the name Wayland in 1835. You can read about Wayland at this site:
Wayland, Massachusetts. There are some interesting historical features in the town, including the
First Parish Unitarian Church, established in 1640. The current church edifice, at 225 Boston Post Road in Wayland, was built in 1815.

The Boston Post Road, the first postal route in the country, merges with US-20 now and again as it travels through Massachusetts. You can read learn this road's history at this U.S. Department of Transportation website:
Boston Post Road.
Well, I've done my two hours of practice today and made it to my destination: The Local. Guess I'll stop in for a bite to eat!
