Olmsted Trail
Frederick Law Olmsted and the Olmsted firm— together— had nearly 6,000 commissions. Working in 47 out of the 50 states, their work has literally shaped the American landscape. Use the map below to travel the country, visiting each site. The Olmsted Trail is a “work in progress,” and we will continue to add regularly. So check back often!
