You're invited! On Sunday, April 24th at 2:00 p.m., The Landmark Society's Olmsted Subcommittee will host a birthday bash for revered landscape architect and designer of Rochester's parks system, Frederick Law Olmsted. The occasion will also be an opportunity to celebrate and showcase Genesee Valley Park's concrete arch pedestrian bridges (listed on The Landmark Society's Five to Revive list and the Preservation League of New York State's Seven to Save). We'll be celebrating with light refreshments, music, walking tours, and good company on one of the bridges, over the Erie Canal! We'll also have a life-size cutout of Fred himself available for selfies. The Bash will run from 2 p.m. — 4:00 p.m. at Genesee Valley Park. If weather allows, the event will take place at the easternmost concrete arch pedestrian bridge (see below for location details) spanning the Erie Canal. If the weather does not cooperate, we'll celebrate at the Roundhouse Shelter.
