Fairsted in Brookline, Massachusetts was the home and office of Frederick Law Olmsted, the founder of American landscape architecture whose firm designed Central Park, the U.S. Capitol grounds, and hundreds of parks and campuses. The site preserves the world's first full-scale landscape design office, with its drafting rooms, plans, and photographs intact.
Tour the grounds Olmsted shaped as a living design lesson and peek into the drafting rooms. For a challenge, take the full guided tour of the design office and archives, a rare look inside the profession's birthplace.
