In Partnership with the National Park Service
The What’s Out There Cultural Landscapes guides are produced as a partnership between the National Park Service and The Cultural Landscape Foundation. The series began in 2016 in acknowledgement of the 100th anniversary of the NPS’ founding.
In recognition of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the National Park Service (NPS), The Cultural Landscape Foundation and NPS are partnering to document nationally significant landscapes in five cities. The second of five interactive online guides, the What’s Out There Cultural Landscapes Guide to New York City was preceded by a guide to Philadelphia (March 2016) and will be followed by guides to cultural landscapes in Boston, MA (Spring 2017), Richmond, VA (Fall 2017), and Baltimore, MD (Spring 2018).
Discover the extraordinary range of New York City's designed landscapes through illustrated essays of nearly 70 sites, all of which can be explored on an interactive map.
Read the profiles of more than 60 designers and visionaries whose work has shaped New York City over the course of three hundred years.
What’s Out There Guides are produced in partnership with the National Park Service on the 100th anniversary of their founding.
