Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site
For Teachers
 

Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site is actively involved with educating students in the New Hampshire and Vermont region about the historic and cultural elements associated with the art work of Augustus Saint-Gaudens and the architecture and gardens of his home and studios. The site offers many chances for students of all ages to learn more about the classical design elements used in Saint-Gaudens' home and gardens, his many sculptures related to the Civil War, and his use of clay, plaster, marble, and bronze in creating his most famous masterpieces.

The "For Teachers" page is currently under construction, but the park will soon have more information concerning school group tours, teacher workshops, and curriculum materials available. The park is sorry for the inconvenience. 

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.
