About Celebrating the American Landscape: Olana

In honor of America’s 250th and the Frederic Church 200, The Trustees will present a series of two lectures to honor the American landscape. Each lecture will be followed by a reception with light refreshments.

Sept. 24th – Olana: Frederic Church’s Vision of Art & Landscape

Presented by Sean Sawyer, PhD, President of The Olana Partnership

Oct. 1st – Preserving Scenic Beauty in Charles Eliot’s Museum of Landscapes
