Olmsted NHS Seeks Pulic Comment As It Begins Writing New General Management Plan
30 years after its establisment, Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site is preparing a new General Management Plan and is seeking public comments as it begins the process. A public meeting was held in September and public comments from the meeting are available online (Link contains PDF file). If you were not able to make it to the meeting, comments may be submitted online, through September 16, 2010.
Site Renovation Continues
Frederick Law Olmsted’s house was built in 1810 and, as with all old houses, periodically it needs major attention. Construction will include upgrading the fire-suppression system, new heating and air-conditioning ducts, improving the drainage system around the buildings, separation of sewage and storm-water runoff lines, and new electrical wiring, particularly for the barn behind the house which is being transformed into a three-season educational facility for children. For more information about the project, please visit the Olmsted NHS web site.
