This document presents the National Park Services's proposal for the management and use of the Weir Farm National Historic Site and other alternatives considered during the planning process. It also describes the potential impacts of the proposal and alternatives on park resources and operations, and on the surrounding neighborhood. It is hoped that the document will guide park management for 15- 20 years beyond 1990. The altenatives range from minimal to extensive site interpretation and provide for the protection and preservation of resources, while meeting planning objectives that reflect the site's purpose as "a significant site of the tradition of American Impressionism [while maintaining] the integrity of a setting that inspired artistic expression and encourages public enjoyment". Part One provides background information about the park and the planning process. Part Two describes the plan and alternatives. Part Three contains descriptions of the cultural and natural resources. Part Four describes the environmental consequences of the plans. Part Five lists people contacted during the planning process. Part Six contains 8 appendices.
