• State: Connecticut
• Website: https://www.nps.gov/wefa

Overview:
The only national park in Connecticut, Weir Farm preserves the home, studio, and landscapes that inspired American Impressionist J. Alden Weir and generations of painters who followed.

Why It’s Worth a Stop:
Walk through flower gardens, fields, and forested paths that feel like a painting in motion. Tour the artist’s studio, or bring your own sketchpad — they even offer “Take Part in Art” kits to borrow.

What to Know Before You Go:

• Free entry; open seasonally for tours.
• Grounds, trails, and visitor center open year-round.
• No camping; quiet, reflective visit.
• Dogs allowed on trails, not in buildings.

Fun Fact:
This is one of only two National Parks in the country dedicated to visual artists — and the only one focused on American Impressionism.
