About Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park

This park preserves Aspet, the home, studios and gardens of sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, who bought the property in 1885 and lived here year-round from 1900 until his death in 1907. You walk hedged, terraced gardens past reproductions of works such as the Adams Memorial and Abraham Lincoln: The Man, then step into the Little Studio and the galleries. The Federal-style main house opens for select hours as staffing allows. Three hiking trails lead into the surrounding woods.
