Friends of Olmsted-Beil House welcomes you to visit the grounds of the 17th century farmhouse once owned by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. Olmsted-Beil House is a New York City Landmark and is listed on the New York State and National Register of Historic Places. Visitors will be able to independently walk the grounds of Olmsted’s former Tosomock Farm, now a NYC Park, and view trees planted by Olmsted as early landscape architecture experiments, pre-dating his Central Park designs. While the house itself is closed as it undergoes preservation, Friends of Olmsted-Beil House board members will be on hand to introduce the site and the steps being taken to ensure its survival.

There are no paved walkways on the grounds. Visitors must be able to walk over uneven terrain. Closed-toe shoes are recommended.

Parking is not permitted in the shared driveway to the house. Visitors should park on either Hales Avenue or Woods of Arden Road.

Children are welcome accompanied by an adult and supervised at all times.
