Join us in honoring the bicentennial of the birth of visionary landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. To mark this anniversary, the National Association for Olmsted Parks is leading the nationwide Olmsted 200 celebration in recognition of Olmsted’s enduring influence—including the Inspired by Olmsted carillon competition.
Here at Longwood, enjoy an Olmsted-focused talk, Chimes Tower tours, and a carillon concert each day with award-winning carillonneurs Geert D’hollander and Ellen Dickinson as they present their compositions inspired by the life and legacy of Olmsted.
