A Walk to Weir Pond

Ranger Guided Program in Partnership with the Wilton Conservation Commission

DATE: Sunday, July 8, 2018

TIME: 10:00 to 11:00 am

LOCATION: Weir Farm National Historic Site, 735 Nod Hill Road, Wilton, CT 06897

Join us at Weir Farm National Historic Site for a leisurely walk to explore the beautiful and historic meadows, forest and pond that have inspired artists for over 135 years. Park Ranger Amanda Lord, a Wilton resident, will lead a one hour guided walk during which she will introduce you to Julian Alden Weir, a world-class artist who lived and worked here from 1882 to 1919. We will walk in his footsteps through the landscape that inspired his Impressionist paintings. Our gentle hike will take us by historic stone walls and natural wonders, as we make our way to Weir Pond, which was added by Weir in 1896 as a place for fishing and recreation. Dogs on leash are welcome. We hope you can join us on July 8th at 10:00 am!
