Weir Farm National Historic Site is announcing additional modifications to operations in response to guidance from the Connecticut Department of Public Health. The health and safety of our visitors, employees, volunteers, and partners is our number one priority. The National Park Service (NPS) is working service-wide with federal, state, and local authorities to closely monitor the COVID-19 pandemic.
Effective April 10, 2020, Weir Farm National Historic Site will be closed to all park visitors until further notice, including park grounds and parking areas. We will notify the public when we resume full operations and provide updates on our website at www.nps.gov/wefa and social media channels.
The NPS encourages people to take advantage of the many digital tools already available to explore Weir Farm National Historic Site including:
- Online galleries of artwork created by America's most beloved Impressionist, J. Alden Weir, and other Weir Farm Artists
- Image galleries, including Collections, Historic Photos and Modern Photos
- Information on some of the significant people in Weir Farm history, including the three generations of artists who called Weir Farm home
- A virtual story map tour of Weir's time studying and creating art in Europe
- The 13-minute park film, Legacy of a Landscape
- Videos created by students, including this 2 minute introduction to the park created by youth interns, and this documentary feature about Weir Farm National Historic Site, created by Joelle Schrock as her final Capstone project in the Masters of Communication program at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, CT.
