I actually went here yesterday but didn’t get around to posting photos until today (busy watching the Seahawks last night).

From the plaque at the visitor’s center…

In June of 1882, artist J. Alden Weir stepped off the train here in Branchville, Connecticut. Like you, he had com to explore this rural farm perched atop Nod Hill. During his short first visit, Weir painted a small masterpiece, Spring Landscape, Branchville, which began an artistic legacy that would continue for generations. Over the next forty years, Weir and his artist friends would paint this landscape endlessly. After Weir, his daughter, painter Dorthy Weir and her husband, sculptor Mahonri Young, continued to create here during the decades surrounding the Second World War. In 1957, Sperry and Doris Andrews moved into the farmhouse and over the course of several decades, painted thousands of works at the farm Today, Weir Farm National Historic Site is the country’s only National Park Service site dedicated to American painting and one of the finest remaining landscapes of American art.

I think maybe you’re required to own a sailboat if you live here
