Olmsted 200 - Piedmont Park Guided History Tour
2022-03-05 10:00 - 11:30 UTC | 12th Street & Piedmont Avenue
Olmsted 200 Celebration
April 26, 2022, marks the 200th birthday of Frederick Law Olmsted, author, journalist, public official, city planner and father of American landscape architecture. Olmsted and his successor firms designed thousands of landscape projects across the country, transforming American life and culture. His vision of public parks for all people — and their ability to strengthen communities and promote public well-being — are now more important than ever.
In honor of and to celebrate Frederick Law Olmsted and his many achievements, during March and April, the Piedmont Park Conservancy’s Saturday history tours will highlight Olmsted’s legacy and his design for Piedmont Park which has been implemented over the years including the Park Drive Bridge of 1916.
We are a proud partner of the Olmsted 200 campaign, a nationwide bicentennial birthday celebration of the democratic values and enduring influence of visionary American landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. For more information about Olmsted and the campaign, click here.
