Free Outdoor Film about Olmsted
The Olmsted Parks Conservancy presents a new, one-hour, documentary film about Frederick Law Olmsted, called "The Olmsted Legacy, America's Urban Parks".
It will be shown, appropriately enough, in a Olmsted-designed landscape, Buffalo's Delaware Park, on Friday August 28th, at 7:30pm, near the Parkside Lodge off of Parkside Avenue.
Bring a blanket, a beverage, and some bug spray. (The park's alcohol policy is unknown to me.)
Here's a Buffalo Rising post about it:
