Historian and filmmaker Laurence Cotton joins us virtually for this special presentation for Morven Museum & Garden in Princeton, NJ with a “mini-travelogue” of select Olmsted landscapes across North America in this evening event.
Discover the extraordinary legacy of a true Renaissance man and how Olmsted’s philosophy, his writings and his designs are still relevant today.
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 including those sites designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, Senior, the two sons and the Olmsted Brothers landscape architecture firm.
