Olmsted Historic Walking Tour or Anderson Park

Join us for the free Olmsted Historic Walking Tour of Anderson Park on Oct. 25 at 10 a.m. Before Anderson Park existed, three houses and a fire station sat on the park property. Discover where they went and other surprising stories about how this Olmsted-designed Essex County park came to be created 120 years ago, how it shaped Upper Montclair, and how it led to the formation of other Montclair parks. On this illustrated tour, also learn about efforts to rejuvenate the landscape of this park, on the National Register of Historic Places. Handicap accessible. Anderson Park is at 274 Bellevue Avenue, Montclair. Meet at the boulder at the park’s northeast entrance. Tour is from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Rain date: Oct. 26, same time. Sponsored by Friends of Anderson Park, FriendsOfAndersonPark.com.
