'Foreshadowing Fate Walk' at Weir Farm
Weir Farm National Historic Site hosts a "Foreshadowing Fate Walk" through the autumn landscape 4 to 5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 13, led by local scholar and volunteer Bonnie Tremante, as she reads excerpts of historic letters written in 1882 to artist Julian Alden Weir from his young fiancée Anna Dwight Baker.
These letters foreshadow Anna's tragic death in 1893 due to complications caused by the birth of the couple's third daughter Cora, according to the historic site's announcement.
The walk is free of charge. Registration is required and space is limited. To register, or for more information, call 203-834-1896, ext. 12.
