Saint-Gaudens NHP

Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park in Cornish, New Hampshire, preserves the home, gardens, and studios of Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Besides a portion of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, this is the only NPS site in New Hampshire. Augustus Saint-Gaudens was an American sculptor who worked in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is best known for his public works of art, including the Shaw Memorial in Boston and the Standing Lincoln in Chicago. The park was established in 1965 to preserve Saint-Gaudens' legacy and to provide a place for people to enjoy his art. Visitors to the park can tour Saint-Gaudens' home, walk through his gardens, and see his studios where he created some of his most famous works. The park is also home to a research center and museum, which offer programs and exhibitions on Augustus Saint-Gaudens and his work.
