St. Gaudens National Historic Site: One of our favorite suggestions for our guests who are looking for a wonderful day trip (one of our family’s favorite’s too!). Just 40 minutes north, discover the beautiful home, studios and gardens of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, one of America’s greatest sculptors. Over 100 of his artworks can be seen in the galleries, from heroic public monuments to expressive portrait reliefs, and the gold coins which changed the look of American coinage. Enjoy summer concerts, explore nature trails, or indulge your hidden talents during a sculpture class. Bring a picnic! (603) 675-2175.
