Thank you for your interest in supporting Weir Farm National Historical Park. There are several ways to support the park: ![]() Making a DonationMuseum Collection:Weir Farm National Historical Park preserves and provides access to an extensive collection of art, furnishings, and archival material associated with the Weir, Young, and Andrews families and their lives and work at Weir Farm. The park continues to accept donations of art, artifacts, and documentation related to the site and the families that lived and worked here, as well as art made by members of the American Impressionist movement. Before being accepted into the collection, objects are evaluated for their relevance to Weir Farm and the capacity to care for them. If you are interested in donating to the museum collection or want to learn more, please email wefa_interpretation@nps.gov. Monetary Donations:Weir Farm National Historical Park accepts monetary donations from visitors, individuals, neighbors, families, organizations, foundations, businesses, and many of other entities. Your donation will be used to preserve and protect the only national park in the country dedicated to American painting. Donations to the park are used to support and care for the historic gardens and landscape, walking trails, exhibits, public workshops, school groups visits, art programs, and other visitor activities. Your donation may also go towards the purchase of original artwork for the park. The park can only acquire artwork through donation and donated funds because of an explicit limitation in the park's legislation that prohibits the use federal dollars for this purpose. Much of the original artwork that you can see here has been donated. You can mail in your donation or drop it into the donation box located in the Visitor Center.
