Exhibited on the grounds are full-size bronze casts of some of Augustus Saint-Gaudens’s most famous works, including the Admiral David G. Farragut Monument, the Adams Memorial and the Shaw 54th Regiment Memorial. Widely considered his masterpiece, the Shaw 54th Regiment Memorial was described as “a symphony in bronze” and took him 14 years to complete. Also exhibited are the ten- and twenty-dollar gold pieces commissioned by President Roosevelt, which were minted from 1907 to 1933.

The park, with the exception of “Aspet” may also be toured on your own, as all artwork has interpretive labels.
