You can travel to Connecticut to tour Weir Farm National Historic Site and its Weir and Young studios without leaving the comfort of your home.

Weir Farm rangers and volunteers have created mini-tours of the historic art studios so 'visitors' from around the world can enjoy them from home and learn about the artistic legacy of Weir Farm. Join the park staff for two Facebook Live Premiere Events of these virtual tours and be among the first to enjoy the studios from home.

Both videos will be uploaded to the park website at www.nps.gov/wefa after the Facebook Live Event and will also stay on our Facebook page in case you miss the premiere.

The historic site preserves the homestead of Impressionist J. Alden Weir. Set amidst more than 60 acres of woods, fields, and waterways, Weir described his home as the "Great Good Place." Weir’s farm is a national legacy to American Impressionism, the creative spirit, and historic preservation.
