Support Your Park

Thank you for your interest in supporting Weir Farm National Historical Park. There are several ways to support the park:

 

 

Making a Donation

Thank you for considering a donation to Weir Farm National Historical Park. The generosity of our citizens through their tax dollars and their donations helps to sustain America's national parks. Your support makes a difference. Thank you!

Monetary Donations to the National Park Service

The park accepts monetary donations from individuals, families, organizations, foundations, businesses, and other entities. These gifts support the preservation and programs of the only National Park Service unit dedicated to American Painting. Donations are used to improve education programs, preserve historic buildings and grounds, develop exhibitions, and acquire art or objects for the museum collection. Please note the park is unable to cash checks made out directly to Weir Farm, even though your donation will go directly to the park. Please make all checks payable to "National Park Service." Donations to parks and NPS programs are tax-deductible under section 170(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Checks made out to “National Park Service” can be mailed directly to:
Weir Farm National Historical Park
735 Nod Hill Road
Wilton, CT 06897

Giving to the Museum 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 accepting additions to the museum collection, the park evaluates an object’s relevance to the organization’s public mandate and the park’s capacity to care for these objects. If you are interested in donating to the museum collection or want to learn more, please email [e-mail].
