Open House @ Weir Farm National Historic Site April 13

On April 13 from 10 am to 12 noon Weir Farm National Historic Site located on 735 Nod Hill Road is hosting an open house for volunteers that want to know how they can get involved with this Connecticut treasure.  Join Park Staff for a fun opportunity to learn how you can get involved at your local national park through the Volunteers-In-Parks program! Stop by for some light refreshments, a chance to tour the historic house and studios before they open for the season, meet the current crew of super-awesome volunteers and learn more about how you can become part of this amazing organization!

With the 2019 season fast approaching, Weir Farm National Historic Site is seeking friendly, reliable people interested in working with the public to become a part of the park team. Volunteering here means you could greet visitors in the historic artist studios, work in gardens designed by the people who once lived here, or help visitors create their own artwork to take home. Hours are flexible and training and enrichment programs are provided. Ages 13 and up are welcome to volunteer.

For additional information, if you can't make it on April 13 contact call Volunteer Coordinator  Carly Buta at (203) 834-1896 ext. 12 or visit www.nps.gov/wefa
