Have you seen today's Hartford Courant? In his article "He Shaped Hartford's Landscape: New Book Outlines Influence of Architect Jacob Weidenmann," staff writer Steve Grant writes about Cedar Hill Cemetery Foundation's first publication, Jacob Weidenmann: Pioneer Landscape Architect.
Although he lived in Hartford for only 10 years, Weidenmann made significant contributions to Hartford's landscape. Mr. Grant mentions some of Weidenmann's commissions, including Cedar Hill Cemetery, Bushnell Park, the Butler-McCook House gardens, and the Retreat for the Insane - now the Institute for Living.
To purchase a signed copy of Jacob Weidenmann: Pioneer Landscape Architect, call 860-956-3311, ext. 13, or visit Cedar Hill Cemetery's offices in the Northam Chapel at 453 Fairfield Avenue, Hartford.
