Welcome

We're making positive things happen in Winsted since 1999!

Friends of Main Street Winsted is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting the historic preservation, beautification, and economic growth of Winsted.

We achieve this by helping to attract new businesses, support existing businesses, and encourage traffic to downtown.

Donations are always welcome!​

Ready for Summer? Make Some Memories!


​Main Street is a place where we all gather to celebrate our town and make memories year after year. It is where we shop, dine, watch parades, see movies/concerts, bowl, visit a museum or a craft brewery, go to the community college or YMCA. Friends of Main Street Winsted is looking forward to making many more memories with you in 2022! ​
