When founded in 1891 by landscape gardener Charles Eliot, The Trustees of Reservations (The Trustees) name was far better understood. The term “reservation” was employed by Eliot to explain his own notion of “park-making.” Unlike Frederick Law Olmsted, whose approach to designing parks was to start out from scratch, Eliot favored selecting natural or cultural landscapes that had inherent beauty and interest then improve, preserve, and open them to the general public .

The town has recently moved to make a cultural district to make a cohesive approach to marketing all it’s to supply and creating opportunities for partnerships across many of the organizations. The cultural district is that the Easton Shovel Town Cultural District and seeks to attach visitors to town landmarks, private businesses, and cultural initiatives.

The estate house site itself holds a prominent position within the landscape, which had been carefully chosen and manipulated in design by Governor Ames.
