Amor Caritas by Augustus Saint-Gaudens in Atrium at Saint-Gaudens NHP

NPS/Don Freeman

 

Art, history, and nature come together at Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park. Once the home of sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens and unofficial center of the Cornish Colony of artists, visitors continued to be attracted to the park's rich history, fragrant gardens, bronze sculptures, and memorable experiences.

Park buildings are open Thursday to Monday through October 31.

The visitor center and other park buildings are open Thursday through Monday from 9am until 4:30pm. Visitor services including Junior Ranger activities, the passport cancelation stamp, and ranger-led programs are also offered Thursday through Monday. Aspet, the historic home, is open from 10am - 11:45am and 2pm - 3:45pm when visitor services are offered. The grounds are open year round during daylight hours.

Plan for the terrain

There are a variety of walking surfaces throughout the park including grass, brick, asphalt, bark mulch, cement, and gravel. Because of the historic nature of the park, some of the pathways may be uneven. Visitors should always take care when walking in the park. In the event of an emergency, call 911.

 

Your fee dollars are at work.

The $10 entrance fee for people age 16 and over helps fund education and conservation projects at the park. You can purchase entry passes when you arrive with a credit card. The park also accepts America the Beautiful Passes including the Senior Pass. If you already have a pass, be sure to bring it along so you and three other guests can enter for free. Learn more at Fee & Passes.

Mark your calendars now.

The park hosts special events throughout the season. Music fills the air during the Sunday Concert Series. Celebrate creativity at the Art in the Park Festival on September 12. Attend a performance by Opera North at the stunning Blow-Me-Down-Farm.

 

Have a picnic.

The park is a beautiful to gather with friends and family, but there are no food services available on-site. If you bring a picnic to one of the outdoor tables, please make sure to take your trash with you.

Bring your furry friend.

Dogs are permitted on park grounds, but must be kept on a leash at all times. This includes when hiking the nature trails. We ask that dog owners be respectful of the park and remove dog waste. Bags for that purpose are located in a dispenser near the kiosk in the main parking lot. Pets are not permitted in any park building except for trained service animals.
