The Friends of Olmsted-Beil House
The Friends of Olmsted-Beil House (FOBH) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, formed in 2018 by concerned neighbors and former residents of Frederick Law Olmsted’s farmhouse to preserve and present to the public this historic site of local and national importance. The ultimate goal is to make of this site an educational center open to scholars and visitors alike.
FOBH works to engage the community and local leaders in efforts to restore the Olmsted-Beil House historic site. Working side by side with the New York City Landmarks Conservancy and the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation, FOBH is a leader in the efforts to stabilize the house and to prevent further damage before large-scale restoration work can begin.
