Weir Farm

Weir Farm National Historical Park commemorates the life and work of painter J. Alden Weir, who was a leading figure in the American Impressionist movement. Weir Farm was one of the first American Impressionist painting sites, and it served as a refuge for many artists who were looking to escape the bustling city life. Today, visitors can tour the farmhouse where Weir lived and worked, and they can also explore the sprawling grounds that feature gardens, ponds and woodlands. In addition, the park offers a variety of educational programs that teach visitors about the history of American Impressionism.
