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!​

☃️ ​ Enjoy Winter - 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 Fundraisers, Concerts for a new newspaper, Conservation Commission seminars to a Rock & Mineral Show at Whiting Mills this month! ​
