Complete information about visiting Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site is now on National Park Planner!
Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site in Cornish, New Hampshire, preserves the house, grounds, and art studios of famed sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens. He began renting the house for the summer in 1885 and eventually purchased it in 1891. Saint-Gaudens named the house Aspet, a reference to Aspet, France, the birthplace of his father. Augustus himself was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1848, but moved to New York when he was six months old. He died at Aspet on August 3, 1907.
Visitors to Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park can tour Aspet as well as two of Saint-Gaudens’ art studios that now house a collection of his original works, an art gallery that hosts contemporary exhibits, and a studio used by the Artist-in-Residence. On the grounds of the park are castings of four of his larger sculptures: Robert Gould Shaw, Adams Memorial, Standing Lincoln, and Admiral David Farragut Memorial. There are also approximately three miles of hiking trails.
