The Olmsted Network launched the Olmsted Trail, a dynamic new resource for exploring the past, present, and future of landscapes shaped by Frederick Law Olmsted, his sons, and their successors. At its core, the Trail is an interactive map that allows you to discover landscapes by location, name, job number, and project type. From there, you can dive into individual sites—tracing original plans and drawings, viewing historic and contemporary photos, and learning how these spaces are cared for today.

Landscapes associated with Frederick Law Olmsted and his firm span more than 6,000 jobs across 47 U.S. states, eight Canadian provinces, and four continents. More than just parks and places, they are living testaments to the power of thoughtful design, community, and stewardship. Now, for the first time, the Olmsted Trail brings these stories together in one place, making it easier than ever to explore, understand, and contribute to this shared legacy.
