A National Park for Art

June 26, 2024

Y's Men will enjoy a

USPS Ranger-led tour of Weir Farm National Historic Park

Visit the home and studio of America's most beloved Impressionist, J. Alden Weir, and walk in the footsteps of generations of world-class artists.

Set amidst more than 60 acres of painterly woods, fields, and waterways,

you’ll soon see why Weir described his home as the "Great Good Place."

Weir Farm is a national legacy to American Impressionism,

the creative spirit, and historic preservation.

Weir Farm was the summer home beginning in 1882 of

American Impressionist artist J. Alden Weir.

The property consists of a visitor center, Weir’s home and studios,

as well as out buildings, gardens and grounds

with numerous walking paths/trails.

This is a site well-patronized by current day artists

to visit, paint, and find inspiration.
