Pulaski Park was designed by the firm of Frederick Law Olmstead.  We're driving out to Boston tomorrow to the National Park Service's Olmstead Historic Site.  Even though they are in the midst of a MASSIVE renovation and construction project, they are making two original plans for Pulaski Park available to us to photograph.  I am so excited I could spit!

Most of the historic records associated with Pulaski Park are actually in Washington, DC, at the Library of Congress (LOC) in their Manuscripts Division.  The Olmstead firm donated millions of records to the LOC.  Images of the original documents are on microfilm reels.   Since I am the daughter of a librarian, I know that just about everything is available through the magic of Interlibrary Loan.

As soon as I have some decent images, I'll post them to the website.
