To celebrate America's 250th birthday, WSKG, Cinemapolis, and The History Center are partnering to bring you a series of history documentary screenings and community conversations.
The third film in this series is Fredrick Law Olmstead: Designing America
Frederick Law Olmsted: Designing America is a biography of the man who made public parks an essential part of American life. He made enormous contributions to the American landscape, a park was both a work of art and a necessity for urban life. Olmsted's efforts to preserve nature created an "environmental ethic" decades before the environmental movement became a force in American politics.
