Rendering of Weir Farm National Historic Site in Connecticut from a high vantage point. Green lawns separate red buildings with brown roofs that are divided by streets forming a T intersection. The rest of the area is carpeted with trees around Weir Pond in the distance to the right.

Extended Description

Pelham Lane cuts diagonally into the scene from the bottom left corner. It meets Nod Hill Road about a third of the way up the map.

To the left of Pelham Lane, Weir House, Weir Studio, Young Studio, and Ice House have red siding. The Weir Barn and a tiny corn crib are both brown. From Pelham Lane and working to the left, other labeled sites include a Well, Stone Table, Victory Garden, Tool Shed, Pig Pens, Secret Garden, Weir Orchard, Chicken Coop, and Beers Cemetery.

To the right of Pelham Lane, the Burlingham Barn, which has restrooms, Woodshed, and Burlingham House Visitor Center have red siding and brown roofs. The Potting Shed is a gray structure near the visitor center. Other labeled sites include a Sunken Garden, Plein Air Painters, Terraced Gardens, and a well.

Two paths in this area are named. A path leading from near the intersection of Pelham Lane and Nod Hill Road to the visitor center has text reading “Path to Weir House, studios, and Weir Pond.” In the lower right corner, a path heading into a wooded area is labeled “Trail to Weir Preserve.”

Across Nod Hill Road are the Caretaker’s House and Artist-in-Residence Studio, both with the distinctive red siding, and Visitor Parking (no RVs).

A small structure labeled Palace Car is near Pond trail, which cuts up into the woods leading back to Weir Lake. A bridge not far from the Palace Car and a Dam on the left perimeter of the lake are also labeled.
