“Fairsted – The Olmsted Homestead: The People, Programs and Resources at Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site”

Presenter bios:

Brianne Cassetta (University of Southern California, BA, Anthropology; George Mason University, MA, Anthropology) began her National Park Service career at the Washington Support Office, History Department, working on the Oral History Project. Moving out into the parks, Brianne took on her first ranger position at George Washington Memorial Parkway, serving 15 unique sites including the Marine Corps War Memorial and Theodore Roosevelt Island. At Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site, where she currently serves as Supervisory Park Ranger, Brianne works with the general public, community partners, youth organizations, and local schools to share and discover the many stories of the Olmsted legacy.

Anthony Reed (UC Santa Barbara, BA, Sociology/Women’s Studies; Simmons College, MLS, Archival Management Concentration) joined the National Park Service in 2000, after a series of grant-funded and consultant positions managing archival collections. As a member of the Olmsted site’s Curatorial Division, Anthony participates in collections documentation, manages numerous collections databases and works heavily with the digitization efforts at the site, while also providing reference services on special research projects. He has also served on the region’s Museum Emergency Response Team (MERT), helping in the response to disasters and recovery of museum collections at Death Valley, Ellis Island and Flight 93 National Memorial.
