Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site preserves, protects, and interprets the cultural and natural resources historically associated with Augustus Saint-Gaudens (1848-1907). In partnership with the Saint-Gaudens Memorial, the site promotes the arts through exhibitions, special events, and programs as a living tribute to the sculptor.
