  • What's out There Weekend
    September 25-26, 2010 What’s Out There Weekend Washington, D.C. September 2010 Dear TCLF Visitor, Welcome to What’s Out There Weekend! The materials in this booklet will tell you all you need to know about engaging in this exciting event, the first in a series which we hope to continue in other cities throughout the United States. On September 25-26 in Washington, D.C., TCLF will host What’s Out There Weekend, providing residents and visitors an opportunity to discover and explore more than two dozen free, publicly accessible sites in the nation’s capital. During the two days of What’s Out There Weekend, TCLF will offer free tours by expert guides. Washington, D.C. has one of the nation’s great concentrations of designed landscapes – parks, gardens and public spaces – laid out by landscape architects or designers. It’s an unrivaled legacy that stretches back more than 200 years and includes Pierre L’Enfant’s plan for the city, Frederick Law Olmsted, Sr.’s design for the U.S. Capitol grounds and Dan Kiley’s plaza at the National Gallery of Art. Throughout the weekend, expert guides will lead tours that shed new light on some of the city’s most iconic landscapes and introduce you to places you may not have known before. TCLF’s goal is to make visible these sites and their stories just like the capital city’s great buildings, monuments and memorials. The What’s Out There Weekend initiative dovetails with the web-based What’s Out There (WOT), the first searchable database of the nation’s historic designed landscapes.
