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!​

🍂 Fall is here! - Make More 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 museums or a craft brewery, go to the community college or YMCA. 

​Enjoy our Community Events from an art supply tag sale at Whiting Mills, remembering 9/11 at Soldiers' Monument Park , shred-funk rockers at AMP, 5K at Highland Lake, Fall River Cleanup to the 23rd Fall Foliage Festival and Car/Motorcycle show! Winsted has it!
