National Historical Parks - New Hampshire

Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park

8/18/1996 Drove to Saint-Gaudens NHS [NHL] (Cornish, NH), arriving at opening. Walked around site - house, gallery, gardens, etc. Saw copies of many famous Saint-Gaudens statues - Standing Lincoln, Pilgrim, different soldiers, Diana from top of Madison Square Garden, etc.

4/21/2022 A bit further, and again a little along the NSB still in Cornish, we reached Augustus Saint-Gaudens Memorial NHL/Saint-Gaudens NHP. This is the home, gardens, and studios of one of America's foremost sculptors. I had been here many years ago and went to the studio, but since it was later in the day the studio was not open; instead, we enjoyed walking around the ground near the main house. The house includes a really nice porch with views of the mountains.
