After Olmsted's retirement and death, his sons [[John Charles Olmsted]] and [[Frederick Law Olmsted Jr.]], continued the work of their firm, doing business as the [[Olmsted Brothers]]. The firm lasted until 1980. Many works by the Olmsted sons are mistakenly credited to Frederick Law Olmsted today. For instance, the Olmsted Brothers firm did a park plan for [[Portland, Maine]], in 1905, creating a series of connecting parkways between existing parks and suggesting improvements to those parks. The oldest of these parks, Deering Oaks, had been designed by City Engineer William Goodwin in 1879 but is today frequently described as a Frederick Law Olmsted-designed park.

A residence hall at the [[University of Hartford]] was named in his honor.
