Weir Farm National Historical Park
Weir Farm in Wilton is a peaceful old farm that was the home and painting spot of American artists long ago. It is the only national park in Connecticut and one of the few dedicated to painting and art.
It is famous as the home of painter Julian Alden Weir and other artists who came to paint its lovely fields and stone walls. Families love borrowing art supplies for free and painting the same beautiful scenes the artists loved.
