A few words about Olmsted In Buffalo:
Olmsted in Buffalo has been present on the internet since 1996, and will be celebrating 30 years of providing historical information about Buffalo’s Olmsted parks system this coming August. It first was hosted on the old GeoCities.com hosting service, and later moved to its own web domain. It is the oldest website focused solely on the Buffalo Parks and Parkways system, its relationship with Frederick Law Olmsted and his firm, and its historic development.
In 2012, the site was migrated to the WordPress authoring platform at the current http://www.olmstedinbuffalo.com address, maintaining in an updated format the original goal of a simple and uncluttered appearance of the original. A mobile version, cutting edge for the time, was put in place. More parks images had been added, and we provided a considerable expansion over what the older version of the site format was able to display.
We worked through some issues in late 2016, but with a new hosting provider and the dust settled, a complete refresh and further content expansion was completed. In 2021, we again shifted to a new and more accommodating hosting provider, and look forward to adding still more content and considerably more imagery, both historic and current over the coming months.
