We report on observations of the sky region around the unidentified TeV gamma-ray source (TeV J2032+4130) carried out with the Whipple Observatory 10 m imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope for a total of 65.5 hrs between 2003 and 2005. The standard analysis developed by the Whipple collaboration for a stand-alone telescope reveals an excess in the field of view at a pre-trials significance level of 6.1 sigma. The estimated integral flux for this gamma-ray source is about 8% of the Crab-Nebula flux. The data are consistent with a point-like source. The results for the TeV J2032+4130 observing campaign will be presented. Discussion of the physical mechanisms that may be responsible for the observed gamma-ray emission, based on the possible associations of the Whipple TeV gamma-ray source with known astrophysical objects, will be also given.
