Reading Ranger program


On Feb. 20, from 10 a.m. to noon, bring your children to Weir Farm National Historic Site for this month's popular Reading Ranger program: "Preserving a Special Place."

Join Park Ranger and former educator Emily Bryant for a read-aloud story in the farm's cozy historic barn followed by a rare behind-the-scene tour of the Weir House to see how the National Park Service is preserving Connecticut's only national park. After the tour, each child will create a Weir Farm inspired time-capsule ornament to keep as part of a new holiday tradition.

This program is appropriate for children in grades K-4. Children must have a parent/guardian remain with them for the duration of the program.

The Reading Ranger program is free of charge, however, registration is required. To register, or for more information, please call (203) 834-1896 ext. 12. Space is limited.
