Plan Your Visit
Frederick Law Olmsted NHS is currently CLOSED to visitors as we undergo a major preservation project involving the buildings, grounds and collections.   Normal operation hours and programs are anticipated to resume in 2010.

During the closure special guided tours of Olmsted-designed landscapes in the nearby Boston metropolitan area will be offered periodically during the year. These may include focused walks in the Back Bay Fens, Riverway, Jamaica Pond, Arnold Arboretum, and Franklin Park portions of Boston's famed "emerald necklace" park system.  For more information, please call (617)566-1689 or click here.
