Frederick Law Olmsted: Designing America
Louisville: From Olmsted to the 21st Century
Clip: Ep1 | 3m 24s
Premiered Summer 2014
To Olmsted, a park was both a work of art and a necessity for urban life. Olmsteds efforts to preserve nature created an environmental ethic decades before the environmental movement became a force in American politics. With gorgeous cinematography, and compelling commentary this film presents the biography of a man whose parks and preservation are an essential part of American life.
