Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site
Plan Your Visit
 

During the open season from Memorial Day weekend through October 31, the park buildings are open every day from 9:00 a.m.– 4:30 p.m. Over 100 pieces of Saint-Gaudens' sculpture are exhibited in the galleries and on the grounds of the park. The sculptor’s home, “Aspet” contains three rooms of original family furnishings. The Picture Gallery features changing exhibitions.

A variety of guided tours of the park are offered daily. Check the daily program schedule at the visitor center for times. Reservations are not needed for the scheduled tours. Please check for any special events that may be happening during the time of your visit.

While the exhibit buildings are closed from November through late May, the grounds remain open. It is important to remember that during the winter, while the parking lot is kept open, the grounds are not maintained for public use and pathways may be snow covered and slippery so please take care. The administration building and the visitor center are usually open Monday-Friday, and the Eastern National passport stamp is available. Please call ahead if you wish to obtain one of the Federal passes, or want to purchase something from the museum shop.

Most of your questions can be answered by exploring our website, but please feel free to call (603) 675-2175 x100, if you need additional information, or would like to speak to a ranger. Over ten different foreign language translations of the park brochure are available.

Allow at least 90 minutes to visit the site. If possible, take advantage of a guided tour. An engaging, 28-minute orientation film, An American Original, is played throughout the day in the Visitor Center, and introduces you to Augustus Saint-Gaudens and his place in American art and history. The park, with the exception of "Aspet," may also be toured on your own, as all artwork has interpretive labels.

Dress rehearsal for the 1905 pageant,  

Did You Know?
In 1905, 85 members of the "Cornish Art Colony" staged an outdoor pageant at Augustus Saint-Gaudens' home in honor of his 20th year in Cornish, N.H. This play, "A Masque of 'Ours', the Gods and the Golden Bowl", sparked a nationwide interest in pageantry.
