We’re excited to share that Weir Farm National Historic Site, the beloved park that spans across both Ridgefield and Wilton, is resuming recreational access June 10th!

Beginning June 10, 2020 Weir Farm NHS will reopen access to:

Park grounds and parking lot to 50% capacity. Parking is limited.
Park hours are 7:00 am to 5:00 pm daily, and the parking lot closes promptly at 5:00 pm.
Short visits are encouraged to allow others the opportunity to enjoy the park, get outdoors, and recreate responsibly.
There are resources available on the visitor center porch for self-guided visits, including maps, self-guided tours, Junior Ranger activities, and the National Park Passport Stamp.

With public health in mind, the following facilities remain closed at this time:

Restrooms – please plan accordingly

Historic Weir House, Weir Studio, and Young Studio
Portrait photography and group activities are not permitted at this time.

As their news release stated, “At Weir Farm NHS, our operational approach will be to examine each facility function and service provided to ensure those operations comply with current public health guidance, and will be regularly monitored. We continue to work closely with the NPS Office of Public Health using CDC guidance to ensure public and workspaces are safe and clean for visitors, employees, partners, and volunteers.” They also added that they have amazing virtual resources for Weir Farm NHS, including a new virtual Junior Ranger program and online art exhibit.

Details and updates on park operations will continue to be posted on their website at www.nps.gov/wefa.
