Frederick Law Olmsted, the Father of Landscape Architecture, was the creative mind behind the unique design of the Village, complementing the community's historical value. Over the past 130 years, Riverside has matured into a beautiful, vibrant "Village in the Forest." Many of the original elements of Olmsted's plan, including expansive green parkways, gas-lit street lanterns, and curvilinear streets, are still intact. As a result, the Village has enjoyed a National Historic Landmark designation since 1970.
