Frederick Law Olmsted made an appearance at historic Forest Hall in Milford, PA. It was a community meeting place built by the Pinchot family as a 1903 addition to the US Post Office designed by Calvert Vaux in 1863.
It was a full house. The crowd came to hear about FLO's partnership with a young Gifford Pinchot at his first forestry job for George Vanderbilt at Biltmore.
It was a day full to overflowing with historic PA associations. Thank Linda Pinto for the invitation. Lunch followed immediately after the talk. Photos provided by my able assistant Sara E. Stine Brown.
