Please RSVP to Caitlin Meives by emailing cmeives@landmark.layer8group.com or calling (585) 546-7029 x27.

Topic: Cultural Landscapes 101: Types, Terminology, & History
Cultural landscapes–cemeteries, gardens, parks, squares, farmland, estates, college campuses, scenic highways and more–are found in rural, suburban, and urban communities throughout our region. Although landscapes can sometimes be overlooked in preservation discussions, they are just as important a part of the built environment as historic buildings and structures. Landscape architect, Ed Olinger, will present an introduction to cultural landscapes.

When:
Tuesday, March 27
6-6:30 p.m. Networking & refreshments
6:30 p.m. Formal program begins

Where:
Olmsted Lodge, Highland Park
171 Reservoir Ave., Rochester
The Olmsted Lodge is located at the front of the Parks Office Building, across the street from the Lamberton Conservatory. Parking is available on-street and behind the building.
