Weir Farm

 Weir Farm is the former home of the American impressionist painter J. Alden Weir.  It is now a National Historic Park, straddling Ridgefield and Wilton, Connecticut.


I have visited Weir Farm two or three times before, and I have toured the inside of the main house, shown above.  I posted about my tours in 2021 and again in 2023.  This week I visited on Tuesday, only to learn that it was not open for visitors.  


So long as I was there, I walked the main part of the property.  A carpenter was repairing the stairs on Weir's studio, so I didn't photograph it.  But, I walked around the barn and its corral.


This is the view looking back from the end of the corral to the barn and the rear of the Weir house. 

There are some very good walking trails on the property, but I wasn't dressed for a hike, so I left.
