Frederick Law Olmsted NHS Site Visit POSTPONED!

This event is POSTPONED. More information to come.

Join park rangers at Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site for a tour of the property, where in 1883, Olmsted established “Fairsted," the world's first full-scale professional office for the practice of landscape design. Enjoy a guided facilitation of the restored "Fairsted" historic landscape, and the design office (which remains virtually unchanged from the days when the Olmsted firm's activity was at its height.) Housed within the office complex are nearly 1,000,000 original design records detailing work on many of America's most treasured landscapes, including the grounds of the U. S. Capitol and White House; Great Smoky Mountains and Acadia National Parks; Yosemite Valley; New York's Central Park; and whole park systems in cities such as Buffalo, Seattle, Boston, Louisville and Montreal.

Space is limited so registration is required.
