Through simple changes to city streets and public spaces, Kessler proposed a beautiful parks and boulevard system for Fort Wayne. He envisioned parkways along the rivers, tree-lined boulevards and new public parks for the enjoyment of all residents. Rudisill Boulvard, McMillen Park, Franke Park, and most recently, Headwaters Park, are just a few of kessler's visions that have been realized in Fort Wayne over the past century. This year the Hat Luncheon celebrates this unique legacy, and welcomes Camille Fife and Meg Storrow, the professionals who are preparing the National Register Nomination for Fort Wayne's Kessler Park and Boulevard System. We hope you will come learn about the origins of Fort Wayne's first city plan and what you can do to continue the legacy.

  • Timeline 1864
    CIVIL WAR TIMELINE 1864 January Radical Republicans are hostile to Lincoln’s policies, fearing that they do not provide sufficient protection for ex-slaves, that the 10% amnesty plan is not strict enough, and that Southern states should demonstrate more significant efforts to eradicate the slave system before being allowed back into the Union. Consequently, Congress refuses to recognize the governments of Southern states, or to seat their elected representatives. Instead, legislators begin to work on their own Reconstruction plan, which will emerge in July as the Wade-Davis Bill. [http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/reconstruction/states/sf_timeline.html] [http://www.blackhistory.harpweek.com/4Reconstruction/ReconTimeline.htm] Congress now understands the Confederacy to be the face of a deeply rooted cultural system antagonistic to the principles of a “free labor” society. Many fear that returning home rule to such a system amounts to accepting secession state by state and opening the door for such malicious local legislation as the Black Codes that eventually emerge. [Hunt] Jan. 1 TN Skirmish at Dandridge. Jan. 2 TN Skirmish at LaGrange. Nashville is in the grip of a smallpox epidemic, which will carry off a large number of soldiers, contraband workers, and city residents. It will be late March before it runs its course. Jan 5 TN Skirmish at Lawrence’s Mill. Jan. 10 TN Forrest’s troops in west Tennessee are said to have collected 2,000 recruits, 400 loaded Wagons, 800 beef cattle, and 1,000 horses and mules. Most observers consider these numbers to be exaggerated. “ The Mississippi Squadron publishes a list of the steamboats destroyed on the Mississippi and its tributaries during the war: 104 ships were burned, 71 sunk.

  • The Other Side of the Monument: Memory, Preservation, and the Battles of Franklin and Nashville
    THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MONUMENT: MEMORY, PRESERVATION, AND THE BATTLES OF FRANKLIN AND NASHVILLE by JOE R. BAILEY B.S., Austin Peay State University, 2006 M.A., Austin Peay State University, 2008 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2015 Abstract The thriving areas of development around the cities of Franklin and Nashville in Tennessee bear little evidence of the large battles that took place there during November and December, 1864. Pointing to modern development to explain the failed preservation of those battlefields, however, radically oversimplifies how those battlefields became relatively obscure. Instead, the major factor contributing to the lack of preservation of the Franklin and Nashville battlefields was a fractured collective memory of the two events; there was no unified narrative of the battles. For an extended period after the war, there was little effort to remember the Tennessee Campaign. Local citizens and veterans of the battles simply wanted to forget the horrific battles that haunted their memories. Furthermore, the United States government was not interested in saving the battlefields at Franklin and Nashville. Federal authorities, including the War Department and Congress, had grown tired of funding battlefields as national parks and could not be convinced that the two battlefields were worthy of preservation. Moreover, Southerners and Northerners remembered Franklin and Nashville in different ways, and historians mainly stressed Eastern Theater battles, failing to assign much significance to Franklin and Nashville. Throughout the 20th century, infrastructure development encroached on the battlefields and they continued to fade from public memory.

From the historic parks and parkways laid out by planner George Kessler and supported by legendary Mayor Robert Speer to the “City Beautiful” designs laid out for Civic Center Park by Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr., to the recent addi- tions of the South Platte River Greenway, Commons Park and the green spaces of Stapleton, this enduring legacy has great economic value. Even when it was originally created, Denver’s park system was thought of partly as an economic development tool to help put the city on the map. Yet the actual economic value of this asset has never been measured, and now this study provides it.

  • Rediscover Your Parks Booklet
    Rediscover Your Parks In 2011, the Gallup and Knight Foundation’s “Soul of the Community” study indicated that aesthetics, primarily parks and trails, are rated the greatest strength of the Fort Wayne Community. Our award-winning park system is something we’re all lucky to have, but luck has nothing to do with the rare, pristine beauty of these historical landmarks tended by the Fort Wayne Parks & Recreation Department. As you’ll learn in this brochure, and on your park tours today, the visualization of our city’s shared public lands began long ago with a master plan that was the combined eff ort of brilliant landscape architects. The original vision has been modifi ed and expanded, but most of all, it has been nurtured by the legacy of park advocates, dedicated staff and committed citizens—like you—who believe in preserving our cherished parks for future generations. Al Moll, Executive Director Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation Greetings ! Fort Wayne, like many American cities, was planned to be a City in a Garden at the turn of the last century. This means that in 1912 our parks were planned to be linked to neighborhoods and to the rivers by a series of beautiful and functional boulevards. Using the rivers as the focal point, our city was conceived to be a cohesive landscape in which people could live, do business and prosper. For the most part, that landscape vision has been carried out and a great deal of it exists still today. This booklet describes some of the parks, along with Rudisill Boulevard, and presents biographies of a number of people who designed them.

  • Preserving the Historic Road September 20 – 22, 2012 Indianapolis, Indiana Join Us at the Crossroads of America! Preliminary C
    Preserving the Historic Road September 20 – 22, 2012 Indianapolis, Indiana Join us at the Crossroads of America! We invite you to travel along the Historic National Road to Indianapolis, Indiana for our next conference, September 20-22, 2012. Long known as the Crossroads State, Indiana has notable historic roads and scenic byway corridors including the Historic National Road, the Ohio River Scenic Byway, Indiana Historic Pathways, the Lincoln Highway, the Whitewater Canal, the Dixie Highway and the Michigan Road. Founded in 1821, Indianapolis was designed by Alexander Ralston, an apprentice of Pierre Charles L'Enfant. Nicknamed the Circle City, Indianapolis is centered on historic Monument Circle in downtown Indianapolis -- one of the most beautiful civic spaces in America. In the early 1900s, as a part of the City Beautiful movement, the noted landscape architect George Kessler created a plan for parklands and boulevards throughout the City. Today, after forty years of progressive planning, we invite you to experience the historic sites, restored canals, public spaces and museums of downtown Indianapolis-- ne of the most dynamic and walkable cities in the United States. Over the conference’s three days of field workshops, education sessions, and special events we will present you with the latest information and policies for historic roads. The conference will be headquartered at Indianapolis’ historic Union Station -- a masterwork of the Richardsonian Romanesque style opened in 1886. Whether at the international, federal, tribal, state or local level, we welcome your participation in the dynamic conversation on historic roads that began at the first Preserving the Historic Road conference in Los Angeles in 1998.

  • K0206 Hare and Hare Company Records 1904-1979 220 Cubic Feet, Ca
    THE STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF MISSOURI RESEARCH CENTER-KANSAS CITY K0206 Hare and Hare Company Records 1904-1979 220 cubic feet, ca. 450 cubic feet of drawings (1000 rolls), and ca. 100 oversize flat items. Records of Kansas City’s premiere landscape architecture and city planning firm who did designs throughout the Midwest and southwest. Includes drawings, photographs, correspondence and reports, publications and books, and personal papers. HISTORY: The architectural landscape firm, Hare and Hare, was founded by father and son, Sid J. Hare (1860-1938) and S. Herbert Hare (1888-1960). Sid Hare was a surveyor, draftsman, and photographer for the Kansas City engineer's office from 1885-1896. One of his jobs was to assist George Kessler, a landscape architect, who laid the foundation for the city's extensive parks and boulevard system. After serving as superintendent of Forest Hill Cemetery, Hare established his own firm, working independently until his son, Herbert, joined him in 1910. S. Herbert Hare was educated at Harvard and was one of the first six students in the United States to prepare for the relatively new profession of landscape architecture. Herbert joined his father in business, a partnership which would last twenty-eight years. Within the firm, Sid preferred the cemetery and park commissions, and Herbert handled city planning and other projects. By the end of the 1920's, the firm enjoyed a national reputation. Herbert was a consultant to city planning and parks commissions in such cities as Houston and Fort Worth. But in 1930, he was dropped from the City Plan Commission and the Park Board of Kansas City, Missouri, because he would not make political contributions based on a percentage of the fees his office would receive.
