Things To Know
Join us to experience an illustrated presentation on The Olmsted Legacy by writer, public historian and filmmaker Laurence Cotton. Mr. Cotton originated and served as Consulting Producer to the NEH-funded, nationally broadcast PBS special “Frederick Law Olmsted: Designing America.” He will present an information rich and entertaining talk about Frederick Law Olmsted’s life, career and legacy and presents a mini-travelogue of select Olmsted landscapes across N. America—those designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, Sr., the two sons and the Olmsted Bros. landscape architecture firm. Learn about this extraordinary legacy of a Renaissance man and how his philosophy, his writings and his designs are still relevant today.
