With cold weather approaching it's easy to get trapped indoors with the family. But this season, bring the kids out to Weir Farm National Historic Site once a month for a new Reading Ranger program.

From November to April, once a month on Saturday, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., a park ranger will read a story aloud in a cozy historic barn, followed by a related activity exploring the farm's landscape. Story topics will focus on the main themes of Weir Farm National Historic Site so the kids can have fun and learn a lot! The Reading Ranger program is for children in grades K-4, and all children must have a parent/guardian with them for the duration of the program. The program is free, however, registration is required - call 203-834-1896 ext.12.

The dates and topics are as follows. Sign up for one, or many!

  • Saturday, November 14: Mr. Weir, Inspired!
  • Saturday, December 12: Preserving a Special Place
  • Saturday, January 9: What's to be Found on the Farm?
  • Saturday, February 20: Stone Wall Wonders
  • Saturday, March 13: Nature All Around
  • Saturday, April 10: Discover Your National Parks
