Olmsted 200 invites you to join us in celebrating Frederick Law Olmsted’s 199th birthday with a watch party and panel discussion!

Help us kick off the bicentennial celebration of Olmsted’s life, legacy, and the public spaces he designed across America.

FLO Watch Party

Olmsted and America’s Urban Parks, narrated by actress Kerry Washington, examines the creation of America's great city parks through the eyes of Frederick Law Olmsted, visionary urban planner and landscape architect. The documentary weaves Olmsted's engaging and poignant personal story with those of the lasting masterpieces he left for us today.
