The Saint-Gaudens Memorial

The Saint-Gaudens Memorial is a private, non-profit corporation chartered to support the National Historic Site and sponsor programs and activities that promote public awareness of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, his work and sculpture in general.

After the death of Saint-Gaudens, his widow, Augusta, and son, Homer, established this museum as a memorial to the artist. It was chartered by the State of New Hampshire in 1919. After Mrs. Saint-Gaudens’ death in 1926, the Memorial administered the site until donating the property and contents to the National Park Service in 1965. The park became the first unit in the National Park Service dedicated to a visual artist.

Today the Memorial assists the park in many ways. They sponsor an annual summer concert series, changing exhibitions of contemporary art, and help with major projects, such as the production of films on Augustus Saint-Gaudens and funding the conservation of the museum collections. The Memorial also sponsors a Friends group that helps support the programs and goals of the Memorial and Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site.
