Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site in Cornish, New Hampshire, preserves the home, gardens, and studios of Augustus Saint-Gaudens (1848–1907), one of America's foremost sculptors. This was his summer residence from 1885 to 1897, and his permanent home from 1900 until his death in 1907. There are two hiking trails that explore the park's natural areas. Original sculptures are on exhibit.
The National Historic Site was authorized by Congress on August 31, 1964, and established on May 30, 1977. Besides the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, this is the only National Park Service site in New Hampshire. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1962 and administratively listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966.
It is located on Saint-Gaudens Road in Cornish, .5 miles off New Hampshire Route 12A.
