olmsted outlook
Olmsted Outlook is a special one-half acre parcel located on River Street at the foot of Broad Street that was given to the land trust in 1981 by Howard and Deborah Weaver. The land trust viewed the gift as an opportunity to provide to all residents a scenic view and small public park on the bank of the West River.
The land trust maintains the property, including the seawall, the picket fence, the flower beds and the lawn. There is a small parking lot, and a bench invites visitors to stop a while and enjoy the view, framed by old trees, across the marsh, with Westwoods in the distance. The vista includes 59 acres of marshland acquired and protected by the land trust.
Olmsted Outlook is under the careful care of volunteer steward Ted Mankovich, who also maintains other properties for the land trust. Volunteer help is always welcome, and anyone wishing to assist Ted with the landscaping and other work at Olmsted may email him at olmstedirregulars@guilfordlandtrust.org.
