A Ramble With Frederick Law Olmsted
Performances are customized for projects designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, which means I add and incorporate the highlights of Olmsted's experience with the specific project.
Projects designed by his nephew/stepson John Charles Olmsted and Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. are presented with the original performance.
