The Department of the Interior is offering a grant to fund a historic resource study on the Olmsted family in the National Park Service. This grant aims to document the relationship between Frederick Law Olmsted, his sons, and associates with the NPS. The study will delve into the impact of Olmsted’s design principles on conservation movements, his involvement in preservation efforts like Niagara Falls, and the contributions of his son in creating the NPS. The recipient, Organization of American Historians, will produce a comprehensive report for public distribution and online exhibits, promoting wider access to this significant historical research.

This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service¿s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT OVERVIEW Located in Brookline, Massachusetts, Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site (NHS) preserves the home, office, surrounding grounds, and landscape design records of America¿s foremost landscape architect and his firm. The senior Olmsted (1822-1903) established the country¿s first full-scale professional office for the practice of landscape architecture at the property he called ¿Fairsted¿ in 1883. He and his family made their home here, and Olmsted took great personal interest in landscaping the residential grounds as a model of his design principles. After Olmsted¿s death, his stepson John Charles, his son Frederick Jr., and their successors maintained the landscape architecture practice, and perpetuated and expanded Olmsted¿s design ideals, philosophy, and influence into the 1970¿s. John Charles continued worked in the Brookline Office until his death in 1920. Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. worked in the Brookline Office until c. 1936, and then moved, living in both Maryland and California for a time, and retired in 1950. He passed away in Malibu, CA in 1957. The aforementioned landscape design records of the Olmsted firm indicated involvement with thousands of projects across North America including public parks, private estates, school campuses, residential communities and a wide variety of other types of landscape designs. Their records also listed work in many National Parks, from Acadia National Park in Maine, to Yosemite in California. This richly illustrated study will research and document the relationship between Frederick Law Olmsted, his sons, and associates and to the National Park Service (NPS). It will include: ¿ What ideas, embedded in Frederick Law Olmsted¿s design for Central Park, shaped the intellectual underpinnings of the conservation/preservation movement and in turn, the NPS. This report will be created and distributed to the public in a variety of formats including a printed and on-line document. The report will also provide the core narrative material and visual images for an on-line interactive exhibit. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT a) Produce a Historic Resource Study that documents the relationship between Frederick Law Olmsted, his sons, and associates and to the National Park Service (NPS). NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT Substantial involvement on the part the National Park Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded by this award. In particular, the National Park Service will be responsible for the following: a.) Work with the OAH to develop a detailed scope of work, based on Article I of this task agreement, for the scholar to follow in order to complete the Historic Resource study; The OAH and the NPS agree to work cooperatively on the project on a regular basis for the purpose of providing guidance to the scholars(s), monitoring work, providing input, and setting or adjusting priorities.
