One of America's leading Impressionist painters, J. Alden Weir lived and worked at what is now Weir Farm National Historical Park, 60 acres of painterly woods, fields, and waterways just minutes from New Canaan. Park ranger Kristin Lessard will share Weir’s work and explain why his farm is a national legacy to American Impressionism, the creative spirit, and historic preservation.

In conjunction with our current gallery exhibition, Impressionism Then and Now: Dmitri Wright and the American Lineage, Lessard will highlight the park’s history, why it became part of the National Park Service, and how contemporary artists like Dmitri Wright use the park as a source of inspiration and creativity.
