Among his projects | were New York's Prospect Park (1865-1873), Chicago's Riverside | subdivision, Buffalo's park system (1868-1876), the Niagara | Reservation at Niagara Falls (1887), Boston's "Emerald Necklace" | park system, and the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. | | Google his name (spelled Olmsted, not Olmstead) for a wealth of | biographical material, as well as photographs of his work. | | Chris | | | | ==== CTMIDDLE Mailing List ==== | For anyone who missed them, Robert Squire has posted images of | Middlesex County section of John Warner Barber's Connecticut Historical Collections at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ctimages/ | | ============================== | Search the US Census Collection.
