Saint-Gaudens historic site offers art, leisure close to campus
Visiting the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site provides a rare opportunity for individuals to participate in a wide variety of activities ranging from the artistic and historic to the outdoorsy, all in a beautiful setting. The site serves simultaneously as a museum of one of the most prominent 19th-century sculptors, as a National Park and as the site of weekly outdoor concerts. Renowned for his huge castings in bronze, including his many renderings of Abraham Lincoln, American sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens (1848-1907) turned his private home and studio into an artistic haven for a wide variety of writers, artists and eccentrics.
