Meier LG and National Park Service Olmsted Center for Landscape Preservation. 2017. Cultural Landscape Report for the Fredrick Law Olmsted National Historic Site. Cultural Landscape Report. National Park Service, Olmsted Center for Landscape Preservation. Boston, MA
The narrative and graphics included in the Cultural Landscape Report for Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site were developed between 1993 and 1995 to guide restoration of the Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site landscape to its appearance circa 1930. These recommendations were developed in two phases. Phase 1 recommendations (1993–94) detailed removal of non-historic vegetation. Phase 2 recommendations (1995) detailed restoration planting and surface treatments. Recommendations for both phases of work, along with documentation of the 1994 condition of the landscape and an analysis of its historic appearance, were consolidated here, under single cover, at the time of printing in 2017 to provide a complete record of landscape treatment recommendations for Fairsted.
