The 2014 annual Speaker Series at New York City’s Explorers Club focused on this rich history, and the important roles played by the visionary landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted and his son, Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. As Olmsted so famously said, our magnificent natural wonders should not be the playground for the privileged few, but instead a sacrosanct commitment must be made to make them widely accessible “for the free use of the whole body of people forever.” More than 100 national park lovers came to the Explorers Club to hear author Justin Martin tell the riveting story of the pioneering landscape architect of Central Park, who also happened to be a Civil War hero, fervent abolitionist, and crusading journalist, in addition to being a visionary advocate for the national parks, along with his son. The history of America’s national parks is directly connected to the Olmsteds, whose prescient vision for Yosemite and all public lands had profound and lasting consequences for the nation and the world. It is in this same spirit that we offer the Trustees for the Parks Speakers Series as a civic service to our members and supporters. Many thanks to our hosts, Nicole Alger & Zachary Karabell, Gretchen Long, Trina & Mike Overlock, Elayne & Bill Roskin, Michael Roemer, Melissa Vail & Norman Selby, Theresa & William Taggart, Jr., and special thanks to George Gowen. We appreciate your support of our beloved national parks, “America’s best idea,” as Wallace Stegner said.

The core of the public-information mission of the Garden State Preservation Trust has been to document and illustrate achievements in conservation and preservation – with an emphasis on accomplishments at the municipal level. We measure this by acres preserved. But it is also importation to show grants for recreational development, historic site funding and the intact farms that have been protected. The bulk of the Annual Report focuses on all of this information. Of course, the statutory function of this Annual Report concerns GSPT financing, appropriations and agency operations. These are contained in the chapters which follow the Legislative District preservation tables. This is to be construed as the full annual report of the Garden State Preservation Trust for the 2013 Fiscal Year in compliance with P.L. 1999 C.152 section 8C-15. It is also intended to be a comprehensive summary of required financial reporting from FY2000 through FY2013, providing a full accounting of Garden State Preservation Trust activities since July 1999. The principal author is Executive Director Ralph Siegel. A special debt is owed to Bryan Lofberg of the State Agriculture Development Committee for years of patience, thorough assistance and faithful friendship.

  • Hinchliffe Stadium Earns Landmark Designation
    Contact: Lawrence Hajna (609) 984-1795 Lawrence Ragonese (609) 292-2994 March 11, 2013 CHRISTIE ADMINISTRATION ANNOUNCES NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK DESIGNATION FOR PATERSON’S HINCHLIFFE STADIUM TRENTON – The Christie Administration today announced that Paterson’s Hinchliffe Stadium, home to Negro League baseball during the Great Depression and World War II, has been named a National Historic Landmark by the U.S. Department of the Interior. “This designation, the highest the federal government can bestow on a historic site, is a great honor to the city of Paterson and to the baseball greats who played at Hinchliffe Stadium,” Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bob Martin said. “This distinctive stadium serves as an important reminder to an era when institutionalized segregation was prevalent throughout America – and to the great strides our society has made since those days.” Opened in 1932 on a dramatic escarpment overlooking the Great Falls of the Passaic River, the concrete, open-air stadium is one of only two surviving Negro Baseball League home fields in the Mid-Atlantic Region. It is also one of only a handful of such stadiums remaining in the nation. National Historic Landmarks are nationally significant historic places that possess exceptional value or quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States. The program, established in 1935, is administered by the National Park Service on behalf of the Secretary of the Interior. Currently there are 2,540 designated National Historic Landmarks. The stadium is already on the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places. In elevating the stadium’s status to National Historic Landmark, the Department of the Interior noted that Hinchliffe is an “exceptional example of a Negro league baseball stadium in 20th-century segregated America.

  • Statement for the Record
    STATEMENT OF STEPHANIE TOOTHMAN, ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR, CULTURAL RESOURCES, PARTNERSHIPS, AND SCIENCE, NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, BEFORE THE HOUSE SUBCOMMITTEE ON PUBLIC LANDS AND ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION OF THE COMMITTEE ON NATURAL RESOURCES, CONCERNING H.R. 2430, TO ADJUST THE BOUNDARIES OF PATERSON GREAT FALLS NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK TO INCLUDE HINCHLIFFE STADIUM, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. March 6, 2014 Mr. Chairman, members of the subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to present the views of the Department of the Interior on H.R. 2430, a bill to adjust the boundaries of Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park to include Hinchliffe Stadium, and for other purposes. The Department would support H.R. 2430 if amended as described later in this statement. The inclusion of Hinchliffe Stadium within the park boundary would facilitate the National Park Service’s role in preserving and interpreting a nationally significant cultural resource associated with the history of African-American achievement and racial integration. H.R. 2430 would amend the enabling legislation for Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park to include Hinchliffe Stadium, one of the few remaining stadiums in the country to have hosted Negro League baseball, within the park boundary. The stadium is located on approximately 6 acres of land adjacent to the existing park boundary. The park currently encompasses a large portion of the Great Falls Historic District, which is composed of resources associated with Paterson’s industrial history. By including the stadium within the park boundary, this iconic property would be brought under the provisions of the park’s enabling act that authorize the National Park Service to enter into cooperative agreements to identify, interpret, restore, and provide technical assistance for preservation of the property.
