America the Beautiful - Weir Farm National Park for Art 5 Ounce .999 Silver

America The Beautiful Silver Coin (ATB Coin) - Weir Farm National Park for Art

Connecticut's Weir Farm National Park for Art commemorates America's best know impressionist painter - Julian Alden Weir.  The artist and a number of his famous peers spent summers at the idyllic farm, inspired by the landscapes - filled with trees, pastures, waterways and light. The artist resided there from 1882 to 1919. Today Weir Farm is the only National Park dedicated to art.

Weir happily shared the farm with a number of contemporaries, who are also esteemed for their paintings. These include a few of Weir's 15 siblings. Artists such as Childe Hassam, John Henry Twachtman,  Albert Pinkham Ryder, John Ferguson Weir and others produced fine works incorporating the landscape and the beautiful home located there.
