A furry visitor looks forward to Fairsted spring programming.
Fairsted's South Lawn, Steven Sternbach
Our 2020 events schedule will include walks throughout the Emerald Necklace. Join rangers and staff from Olmsted NHS on select Sundays, June through November for tours of the Olmsted-designed parks. Schedule will be confirmed by May.
Keep an eye out for our "Susquicentennial Summer" events in celebration of the 150th anniversary of Olmsted Jr.'s birth. Between July 24 (Olmsted Jr.'s birthday) and August 25 (NPS Founders' Day), Olmsted NHS will offer Jr.-centric tours, Jr. Junior Ranger experiences, and special events.
