Storm Update: Garden and Trails Remain Closed

JUNE 19TH STORM UPDATE: Gardens and Trails Remain Closed Until Safely Cleared

The entire Wethersfield Estate experienced severe and unprecedented storm damage, resulting in the loss of hundreds of mature trees and more. Thankfully, no one was harmed during the event.

To manage the significant storm aftermath, Wethersfield has engaged specialized contractors to support the extensive post-storm clean-up effort so that we can safely re-open as soon as possible. Until then, we ask that you refrain from visiting the property until we announce that the trails, roads and garden are safe to return to. We will remain entirely closed to the public through this weekend, and hope to partially re-open after the July 4 holiday. We will keep you posted on when it is safe to return to Wethersfield and where it is safe to do so. The Public’s safety is paramount to us all at Wethersfield. 

We are deeply grateful for the many generous offers of volunteer help from our community in wake of the storm. While we must postpone volunteer involvement until we can ensure everyone’s safety on the grounds, we are truly moved by your outpouring of support and willingness to lend a hand. Thank you for this. 

In the meantime, the unplanned cost of engaging professional recovery teams over several weeks represents a significant and unforeseen financial burden. If you feel moved to contribute towards this critical clean-up and restoration effort, your support will be received with heartfelt thanks and will make a meaningful difference in helping Wethersfield recover. Every little bit helps.  

We are deeply grateful to the Wethersfield Staff and to all the outside crews working tirelessly to reopen Wethersfield for your pleasure.

We will continue to post updates on our website.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
