Special outing at Weir Farm National Historical Park

Weir Farm is a magical place, once owned by artist J. Alden Weir, who painted its beautiful landscapes. We’ll enjoy a ranger-led tour of his home, studio, and

other historic buildings — and we’ll have time to explore the property, sketch, and make art together.

🗓 Friday, October 10

⏰ Arrive around 10:30 AM – we will have time to mingle, sketch, and scout sketching/painting locations before our tour

🎨 Tour starts at 11:30 AM (about 45 minutes)

✨ Stay afterwards as long as you’d like to wander and create – there are exhibits in the visitor center, historic gardens, a pond trail, and more! Bring along your sketchbooks, plein air supplies, or just come to soak up the scenery. There is no food available for purchase, please bring any lunch or snacks, and be prepared to pack out any trash.
