According to the National Park Service, Weir Farm is a place where history, nature, and art come together. Established as the home and studio of renowned American Impressionist Julian Alden Weir in 1882, the farm became a vibrant creative space that inspired generations of artists, per its website. 

Today, it remains the only national park in the U.S. dedicated to American Impressionism, preserving both the stunning landscapes that influenced Weir’s work and the artistic spirit that defined the site, as noted on its website.

As stated on the park's website, visitors to Weir Farm can walk through its picturesque surroundings, featuring rolling fields, woodlands, and carefully maintained gardens. 

The park offers a hands-on experience for art lovers, providing complimentary art supplies to encourage visitors to create their own works, and guests can also explore the historic Weir House and artist studios, join guided tours, or participate in workshops and programs designed to celebrate the site’s artistic legacy, according to its website.

There is no entrance fee; the park and all its programs are free, per its website.

Congratulations to Weir Farm National Historical Park! 

The park is located at 735 Nod Hill Rd. in Wilton. Visit Weir Farm National Historical Park for more information.
