RV rental Weir Farm National Historic Site, CT: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

The historic site has several attractions you will want to see, beginning with the Weir House, which was the artist's actual accommodations. The house still has the original furniture that Weir used, and it is open to the public for guided tours. The Weir Studio is where he did his work and is furnished with a potbelly stove amongst other items; other landmarks on the site include the Burlingham House, the Young Studio, and the estate gardens. The Burlingham House was the residence of Weir's youngest daughter Cora; today, it serves as the visitor center, and it has exhibits showcasing the family and the people who have maintained the Weir Farm over the years. The Young Studio is used to house and exhibit the tools Weir used and some of his works. The gardens (there are three of them, the Secret Garden, Sunken Garden, and Terrace Garden) were initially created by Weir and have been maintained by the National Park Service and two garden clubs. There is additionally a pond that Weir built and woodlands which help to demonstrate how the landscape affected Weir and his work. You can reach the pond built by Weir in 1896 via a trail; the woods, situated in the Weir Preserve, offer the chance to take longer hikes through groves of mature oak, sugar maple, and ash, with mountain laurel blooming between the trees in the spring. The visitor center has maps and pamphlets detailing self-guided walking tours to help you find your way.
