Plaque on the Samuel Train house, Weston MA

The Samuel Train House is a historic house at 342 Winter Street in Weston, Massachusetts. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, four bays wide, with a side gable roof and large central chimney. The chimney has six fireplaces, a bake oven, and a distinctive smoke chamber that is oriented to the front, placed where houses of this period normally have a winding staircase. The house was built about 1738.

It was the home of Samuel and Deborah (née Brown) Train, and was built by his father (also called Samuel)) and his grandfather John Train.

The colonial house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. It is used as office space for the Rivers School, whose main campus is located across the street.
